Art Opportunity From Ms. Hammero This past week, students were unMasking their Creativity by design their own mask! All of their designs are now uploaded to their Artsonia account. You have the opportunity to purchase a mask with your student's artwork printed directly on the mask! This is also a fundraiser for new art supplies because a portion of the proceeds come back to the Kimberly Lane Art Room. If you click on this link it will bring you to the Artsonia Giftshop where you can select the fabric mask option. Then simply click on "find artist" and type in your child's artist id, this is found on their Artsonia account. Please let me know if you have any questions about how to navigate Artsonia.
