Please vote for Vanessa to make her the Artist of the Week!

There are only three more weeks left in the first semester at Coolidge.  This means that students who had art first semester will be wrapping up their art experience for the year.  Students that have not had art yet this year will be starting on January 24th. 

This week the 8th grade elective classes are going on a field trip to the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston.  They will spend an hour touring the museum with a guide and then another hour making art based on some of the things that inspired them on the trip.  We are really excited for this experience!

Please continue to check out the Www.Artsonia.com website. We currently have 325 pieces of Coolidge art on display.  It is a great way to keep up to date on what students are doing in art class.  Parents can register their e-mail addresses to recieve updates when their child has new artwork on display.  Additional friend and family members can register for updates by becoming "fan club" members to a specific student.
