Hello Art Clubbers!!!
I sent home flyers on Wednesday for both K-2 and 3-5 Art Clubs and I am so excited for clubs to begin! However, I forgot to mention that registration on archwayarete.configio.com for all clubs does not begin until this Friday, August 18th, at 8:00 a.m. If you are unable to sign up, please try again at the aforementioned day and time and you should have no issue. I apologize for my mistake! Thanks for your patience and I look forward to seeing you in Art Clubs!!!
Sincerely,
Ms. Arce-Lindsay

Welcome Back!
Dear Archway Arete Families,
I am so excited to welcome you, whether you be new or returning, to Archway Arete as the academic year begins. I hope you have enjoyed your summer and are refreshed and ready for a new year of learning! My name is Ms. Arce-Lindsay, and I will be teaching art for 2nd-5th grade. This will be my fourth year working as a Visual Arts teacher for Great Hearts Academies. I received a degree in Studio Arts from Biola University, and graduated from the Torrey Honors Institute, a program which specializes in Socratic dialogue centered around classic works of literature, poetry, theology and philosophy. Additionally, I have been working with children in an academic setting for over five years. These qualifications uniquely outfit me to teach your children about art and to help them see the goodness, truth and beauty in it as well!
Fine art, especially the visual arts, is a great passion of mine. I am so excited to have the opportunity to share that passion with your students. This year, we will delve into great works of art as we learn how to view them in the light of their historical context. We will learn how to identify the various elements of art used in these works, and how to interact with them with wonder and reason. This year, I hope to see students continue to expand their visual vocabulary and curiosity, and flourish in their creativity.
If you have any questions, whether it be about curriculum, class, or even if you would like to know if there are ways you can help, please feel free to contact me. I will be updating my blog once a month with updates about each class’s progress, and if you have any questions in particular, please feel free to email me. I have great hopes for this class, and I am eager to work with you to make it a success for you and your students. Here’s to a fantastic year!
With sincerity,
Ms. Arce-Lindsay

Art Clubbers and Lepidoptera!
Art Clubs are singing along and students are already working on their second project! We are looking into the wonders of Lepidoptera (an order of insects that includes moths and butterflies). Stay tuned for the finished product!
Regarding Returning Student Artwork...
As many of you know, Fine Arts and French Night is our annual art show where we are able to display students' best artwork all over the school! It is a wonderful event that showcases the hard work, effort, and joyous enthusiasm that your students invest in their French and Art classes. That being said, please be aware that, for this event which takes place in the spring, I choose each student's best artwork to display from the projects they have completed over the course of the academic year. Because I need access to all their finished projects to do this, I do not return completed projects until the end of the year. If you have any questions regarding this matter or would like to know how your student in progressing in art, please feel free to send me an email! Thank you for all you do!
