Hello Houghton Artists and Families!
Hello Houghton Artists and Families!
I am looking forward to a great year together. I can't wait to see you in our Google Classroom and Live Google Meet classes. We will be meeting synchronously, and will be spending our class time looking at art and making art together. I have included the Google Classroom and Google Meet join-up codes, as well as the Art Supply List below. We will be using basic supplies for all projects. Please plan to have these supplies nearby for our class time. Thank you and please reach out with any questions. I love hearing from you.
Yours in Art, Mrs. Blehar kate_blehar@wrsd.net

Hello Houghton Artists,
What an unforgettable school year it has been! Thank you for making my first year teaching art at Houghton so special. I am proud of you all and proud of the beautiful art that you created in the art room and at home during our remote learning time. Here is a video highlighting some of the moments we shared this year in the art room. Houghton students, you have touched my heart!
Have a wonderful summer, be well, and keep on creating!

ALSO, PLEASE CONTINUE TO SEND US YOUR RAINBOW PHOTOS! Do you and your family want to be part of a video photo montage we will be creating at the end of the rainbow project (after May 15th)? If so, please send photos of your rainbows and/or your children and family with rainbows to: kate_blehar@wrsd.net. Thank you!

We are very excited to be kicking off our community rainbow project this week at Houghton! This week's art lesson is to create a rainbow with a message of hope (In this together, Let’s all be well, Houghton Together, etc.). After you have created your rainbow art, please hang it on your front door or window to spread hope and positivity to our community.
I have included a video and project page below with a few ideas on how to make a rainbow. You can also check out my reading of How the Crayons Saved the Rainbow. Thank you for spreading JOY through your art! We can't wait to see your rainbows!
