Mrs. Parris' Art Page

The spring art show will be held in the Media Center on Tuesday, May 15th from 5-7 p.m.  Everyone is welcome to attend.  Students with artwork in the show will get a personalized invitation at the beginning of May.  Art in the show can be taken home that night between 6:45 and 7.  Any art not taken home that evening will be distributed to students during the school week.

All classes are currently painting their clay projects!

When doing, they will be graded and then wrapped up to send home.  Some will be chosen to be in the Spring Art Show, and will therefore be sent home after the art show in May.  Please note that clay projects are not glazed, but rather painted and varnished.  They are not appropriate for holding food or liquid.  Wrapped food items are fine, though!

Congratulations to Sierra V., Noah P., Mallee F., and Cristina B… these students have an artwork on display at the West Pasco Judicial Center and are invited to attend an artist’s reception on Thursday, March 15th as part of their All American Youth Art Walk.

Congratulations to the following artists- their artwork is representing our school at the Pasco Fine Arts Council’s 2018 annual Kids ’N’ Art exhibit. It goes from March 6-24, with a reception and award ceremony on March 18th from 3-5 p.m. All are invited to attend, see the show, and support our students!
Kaylee Land, Adrianna Zeno, Katelyn Krapfl, Mallee Fassler, Ahvyonce Collins, Noah Pierce, Mario Gaviria, Zackery Smith, Joseph Riley, Hannah Joyner, Hector Adorno, and Alexandra LePage.
