"One of the most difficult challenges of the last 10 years has been to argue the case for more art education in a political climate where only things that are quantifiable are considered worth knowing. This runs contrary to what today’s social thinkers are telling us is needed for the future: an educated population that can think imaginatively, critically, and metaphorically; that can problem-find and problem-solve; that recognizes subtle nuance and ambiguity while seeing the big picture—all things that art contributes to today’s broader curriculum goals."
I was really excited that PTA asked me to make a fun poster for the all-school dance in January. Check it out!
Congratulations to Olivia Olsen, 8th grade Sandburg student, whose design was chosen as the WINNER of the Snowflake design contest! Her design will be printed onto the t-shirts for Snowflake, and she gets to go to Snowflake for FREE! Snowflake will be held this year on Saturday, February 7th at Bryan Middle School. If you'd like more info about the event, you can see Mrs. Blazejak, who is our school's Social Worker.
