Wood Needed...

The BES Art Department is looking for wood scraps...Our 2nd graders create wood sculptures and we need lots of wood. Please make sure it is no bigger than your hand.  You can drop it off in the front office and we will collect it when we have a chance. Thank you for your help in collecting wood for your 2nd grade.

Thank YOU!

Dear BES Families,
Thank you for ordering Square 1 Art this school year. We had 43.26% participation! (a little down from last year but we have grown as school. So I think it is a big success) All items will be arriving the week of December 11th.
Please email me if you would like for your items to be pulled and picked up privately (if it's a gift for the one who made it ;-) or a gift for the teacher) shorridge@k1albemarle.org
If you missed the deadline you may still order but the items will not come to school they would be sent directly to you. You may order anytime for the rest of the year and we will still get a small percentage of the sale.
Thank you again for supporting the BES Art Department!
Fondly, Mrs. Horridge

SQUARE 1 ART

Thank you to those who have placed an order for Square 1 Art! So far we have 8% participation! We hope to have 40% participation by the deadline of November 16th so that we may receive free shipping! I know everyone is very busy but think about not having to shop for the holidays after Thanksgiving...wouldn't it be nice to have your gifts on their way... These gifts are so personal and straight from the heart! Think about sharing this wonderful treasure!

Art for Square 1 Art Fund Raiser

The Art has been shipped to Square 1 Art and is in process of being scanned and created into order forms and stickers. We will receive the order forms and stickers next week. Please be on the lookout for your student's order form.

Square 1 Art

We are almost finished with the projects which we will be sending off to Square 1 Art...we will be sending off all the amazing art work next week. This is VERY exciting! The students have been working very hard to complete their projects and the hard work is paying off.

Art Doesn't Just Happen In the Art Room

Our school is THE BEST! Our classroom teachers believe in being creative and it is not just happening in the art room. Art is happening in the classroom as well! This is such good news. There is no better way to learn and retain information than to have your hands involved in the process.

Creating a Work of Art

The students are busy creating works of art here at school...

Projects, Projects, Projects

We are entering the projects that we will use for Square 1 Art. The projects we do for this fund raiser go along with our curriculum and we often use this work in the ACPS Art Show. The children in every grade learn about different artists and their styles, many new techniques and new mediums. This is any exciting time in the BES Art Department.

Well on our way...

into the new school year. Art is being created all over our school and students are sharing a bit of who they are through their art.

These works of art were created in the class room.

Here at Brownsville Art is created everywhere not just in the Art Room! 

Welcome Back!

Wow! Another year is about to start and your BES Art Department is excited to see everyone. We are ready for the creativity to begin...
We will start out with an intro to the art room in all classes. Then we will break off to individual grade level lessons. Square 1 Art projects begin after that and then we are well on our way into the new year. Looking forward to teaching your children.
Mrs. Horridge and Mrs. Wittkowski
