Adventures in Art

Every production of an artist should be the expression of an adventure of his soul.
- W. Somerset Maugham

Classes are going well at Beacons this winter, and we are having a blast.  The creative, artistic minds are running wild, and brilliant works of art are in the making.

Making plans for sculptures in the "Go Green" art class

Planning ahead is a great skill we practice at Beacons

Yes, drawing dragons really is this funny

We love collaboration

We teach and learn from each other

After drawing sculpture plans, the next step is to build the skeleton

What a finished product might look like

Will you be my Valentine?

Healthy Kids made spinach, mango and pineapple smoothies

Yummo!

A couple of things to keep in mind as Winter Session continues:

1. National African American Parent Involvement Day is Monday, February 13.

2. Family Night at Anne Sullivan is Thursday, February 16 from 5:00-6:30pm.  Contact the Sullivan office (612-668-5000) for more information.

3. Family Night at Anishinabe is Thursday, February 23 from 5:00-6:30pm.  Contact the Anishinabe office (612-668-0880) for more information.

4. Please remember that any changes in your child's transportation plans need to be communicated as early as possible, by notifying the Beacons office and your child's teacher.  The sooner we know, the better!  

5.  Have ideas on how to make Beacons even better?  Let us know - we're listening!
