Hello AACS Families.
4th quarter is underway and we are working hard on creating amazing work for both district and end of year art shows.
Festival of the Arts begins April 8 at the Aurora Town Center (mall) and remain up until April 21. All are welcomed to come view the amazing art from this years participants.
I will return art to the homeroom teachers after they have been displayed in the halls, with the exception of 1 art work per student for the End of the Year Art Show.
We use Core Knowledge Curriculum, in which includes art history and many different art styles from cultures around the world. You may refer to the fridge curriculum tab to see the topics and themed projects that we will be covering based grade level and Colorado Visual Standards.
