Welcome to Art!

Hello Claypit Hill Families!

There are many new and exciting art-related things planned for our school community this year. Be sure to follow our day-to-day learning, progress, and news on our Instagram account @claypithillart.

Introducing 5th Grade Art Club: This year, students in 5th grade will be able to apply to participate in an after-school art club. To learn more please click here.

You can find our online Artsonia Gallery here >>> Artsonia Gallery.

If you are new to Artsonia this year, you will receive an email from Artsonia this fall about granting permission for your student(s) to use the program.

For families of students in 3rd through 5th grade, please be advised that this year Artsonia now requires your permission to allow your student(s) to use the classroom mode of Artsonia in class. We use classroom mode frequently in art class to learn how to create a digital portfolio, and assess and reflect upon our art making experiences. Students who do not have parent permission to use the classroom mode of Artsonia will use another district approved method to build their portfolio.

As a reminder, art is messy! Please be sure to dress your student(s) in appropriate attire for art class. Smocks are always available and students are reminded to wear them, but accidents can still happen. Click here for some helpful links for removing common art stains.

Let's make it a great year!
