Welcome, Class of 2026 Parents!

Wow, time flies!  I can't believe we are nearing the end of June.  I hope all of you are enjoying some downtime with your families.

I have asked our kindergarten resource teachers to "say hello" and introduce themselves to you here in this blog.  Below is our first post -- it is from Holly Smith, our kindergarten art teacher.  She is fantastic!  Look for more to come soon.

And as always, please feel free to call or email (contact info to the right) if you have any questions over the summer, and I will find out the answer!  

Happy Summer,

Anne Bruce


Hello to the parents of the class of 2026!

It tickles me each fall to see to see a new crop of smiling faces, eager hands and creative minds. I feel privileged to guide your children in their study of art. During this year I will teach art elements like line, color, shape, form and texture using many media with varied techniques. 

 

I'll also introduce the stories and art of some master artists. We'll look at lots of art from lots of times and cultures. And I will be careful to find that fine line of teaching art skills and best practices, while fostering your child's innate curiosity and creativity. We'll have fun.

Rather than traveling much this summer, I'll be the happy recipient of many out of state guests (parents, sister and family, high school friends) as well as international visitors (daughter and her boyfriend taking a break from the Peace Corps in Cameroon.) In between those visits, I'm spending many hours in my studio, getting much appreciated, uninterrupted time to make art.

Ahhhh, summertime!

I look forward to meeting your children!

Holly Smith
