Dear Jeffrey Clark 1st Grade Families:
What a year 2019-20 has been! It was a mix of great and challenging -- but through it all it was a pleasure to work with our very creative and enthusiastic students. Clark’s young artists have touched my heart and made this year -- the year of face to face AND virtual learning --unforgettable.
The artwork showcased through our virtual art show was created before March 2020. I handpicked two pieces from each student’s portfolio to feature on a personalized slide. I am very proud of the work created by every one of “my little artists”. I hope you enjoy all of the artwork.
Our Jeffrey Clark students are a creative and inspirational bunch! They have such an eagerness to create and learn about art-- they strive to be the best artists that they can be. I am so privileged to work with such great little artists.
I hope I have motivated your children and touched their lives to be creative and inspired by art, just as I was at a young age. Always encourage your children to create whether it be with pencils, crayons, paint, clay, or even building with sand at the beach!
“Every child is an artist” - Pablo Picasso.
Many thanks to the Jeffrey Clark School Administrators, Secretaries, Faculty and Staff who have been so helpful to me and our students all year. I would like to send out a big thank you to Theresa Wordelmann for her technical help with this virtual art show, along with Jess Nollet, Jodi Fearon, and Laura Sarapulski for scanning each piece of artwork -- I couldn’t have done this without you!! Thank you!!
Sincerely,
Mary Traini
Art Teacher
