August Edition
Welcome Back, Art Teachers!
The cherry on top of summer: Studio Retreat! Teachers came together for four days of studio-based professional development.
Several days of Studio Retreat were devoted to ceramics. Becky Mustachio led a workshop on creating a ceramic watercolor palette.
Printmaking Palooza wouldn't be complete without some gelli printing.
On the last day of Studio retreat, Shelley Smolen let the group in a collage workshop.
Fill out the Art Teacher Survey! This will help us create an art teacher directory and plan for the school year!

Sally left us with some pretty NICE parting gifts before she retired: iPads (and more)!
Your tech person on campus should have them ready for you, but if you are missing anything, feel free to reach out to lindsay.ripley@springbranchisd and she can check the spreadsheet from Sally's order for you.
We will be sharing new information about these purchases and how to use them in the classroom at DSDD.
Bring an iPad with you if you want any support trouble shooting or want to share!

Plexiglass Dividers Available
Plexiglass Dividers Available
The district has a vast number of plexiglass dividers available for your use. The most convenient thing is that they are already located on your campus. You will need to connect with your principal or safety officer to acquire them.
Why would an art teacher need such an item?
printmaking
drawing boards
monotype
any use you can imagine
After the district arranges disposal of this plexiglass it will no longer be available.
