Parents of Art Club students,
We now have permission for you to pick up your child in the gated parking area outside of the art room. Please make arrangements to park in that area. We'll plan on looking for you there!
Thanks!

EveryArtist
On Octobery 23rd students at Denver Place Elementary, along with students from around the country, participated in an event to promote creative and critical thinking skills called EveryArtist.
Everyartist Live! is a national event created to give young artists a time, place
and community to create, share and enjoy art, while raising awareness of how
important creativity is to our future.
Everyartist.me was founded by nationally recognized artist Brendan O’Connell,
and is supported by leaders in education and businesses that understand how
important creativity and innovation are to everything we do.
Creativity is the foundation on which new ideas are built:
• Creativity is critical to developing minds;
• Participation in the arts improves problem solving abilities and is
correlated to higher test scores;
• Creativity is shown to increase motivation, cooperation, and self-esteem;
• A movement called STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math) to
STEAM is emerging. STEAM adds Art+ Design into STEM. We need to
get ahead of the curve;
• The workforce of the future is facing some very complex problems that will
require creativity and innovation to solve.
Everyartist Live! helps organize kids across the nation to participate in a single
art project to inspire creative interpretations of a shared theme. This year, young
artists will produce original artwork based on the theme “My Favorite Story”.
Last year more than 230,000 children in 46 states across the U.S. shared a day
of imagination, creativity, and community — and in the process broke a world
record for the largest single-day art event in history.
Please visit the Denver Place Gallery on the EveryArtist website.

Welcome Back!
I hope everyone had a relaxing and enjoyable summer and is ready for another great year of art at Denver and East End! This summer has been a productive one for me. I recently had a show of my artwork at the Art Academy of Cincinnati. The show featured recent paintings done in the medium, egg tempera. Also included in the show was a ceramic sculpture. Please click on the link below to view my work!
Thanks and have a great year!
