1st Quarter newsletter
Welcome back to school and to another great year in Art Specials! My name is Amber Arnold, and I am so excited about working with the creative artists here at LCES! This is my seventh year teaching art at Level Creek, and I have some really amazing projects planned for this year that will help you try something new and think creatively! You might use clay, paint, drawing mediums, and different sculpture materials. Teaching in such a way that students can make connections outside of my classroom and learn important life lessons that will stay with them throughout life is one of my top priorities. I also want my students to have authentic experiences with art. Each year I enjoy learning with and from them! If you have any questions, please contact me at [email protected].
