Congratulations, everyone! We did it.
Art teachers and students worked really hard since March 12 to keep on making art and sharing it with the world.

Happy Monday! This week's video features the amazing flight of merganser ducklings as they leave their nest for the first time. It truly is incredible.
It reminds of the risks we all take when we try to learn something new or make an effort to get better at something. What have you learned or gotten better at during this time at home?
Please join me and other specials teachers this week for Specialists' Spotlight! Ms. Carney will introduce a biography unit and discuss the artwork of Horace Pippin.
Links to the Zoom meetings are on the Heath Online Learning website and have been shared with your classroom teachers (K-2) or on Google classroom (3-5).
Hope to see you there!

Good morning, Heath School,
Welcome to the new Heath Art site! I greatly miss being in the art room with all of you. One of the sustaining joys of my life is creating art and sharing it with you.
My deepest wish for you during this time is that you find your sources of joy in the world. It may be that you love to create art. Perhaps you love making music, running, playing sports, baking, coming up with ideas for new inventions, designing and playing games, being silly, making jokes, being with your family, or petting your dog. Do those things everyday!
If you are making art, whether it is for the Art@Home Challenges or your own ideas, I would love to see it. Go to any of the grade bands above or to the Heath Art@Home Gallery to find the submission form.
Happy Making, everyone!
Love,
Ms. Hockensmith
