Art

Welcome MCCS scholars and families to the Art page!

As we navigate these next few weeks with distance learning, I'll be posting resources that I find here, on the PTO FB page, and ParentSquare with the intention to make sure everyone has access to any fun opportunities I find.

For the weekly lessons, to make sure things stay as concise as possible I will post links to each grade level weekly plan as well as their Google Classroom or Seesaw. These lessons are meant to utilize the types of resources most families have at home and are as open ended as possible, therefore most lessons will work on getting the scholars to think/reflect rather than focus on mastering an artistic skill (though I will give pointers and links to videos that will help anyone who is interested in working on a set of artistic skills).

As always I'm here to help! Please do not hesitate to reach out to me via email Ashley.Sullivan@lcps.org or PS. I will be available for immediate reply during my office hours MWF from 12-2 and I'll answer emails as they come. I miss you all terribly and hope everyone is staying safe and healthy =)
