...at Andrew G. Curtin, This is how we do it...
Hey Artists!
I am so happy you are here! This website is designed to help answer any questions you may have about your navigating your art course and to communicate to your families all the fun and exciting things happening in art class. This year, art looks a little different. I am teaching both Face to Face (F2F) learners and 100% remote learners. Both groups are equally important to me and I want to make the most of the time we share together.
Remote Learners
I will be teaching grades 4th and 5th grade remote learners. These learners include students from BOTH intermediate buildings (Hepburn-Lycoming and Curtin). Remote learners will see a lesson post weekly. Students will work through the posted folder and then begin on a project. Once projects are completed, students will take a photo of their work and add it to the assignment page and to their art portfolio. ALL assignments will be due by the end of the marking period as dated on the district calendar. This helps aid our families and students who need extra time complete art assignments.
