Did you know it is scientifically proven* that creating art for 40 minutes significantly improves mental health whether you are "good at it" or not!?!  The great thing about art is you can be creative wherever you are with whatever you have. There are about as many options as your amazing brain can think of!

On your regular teacher's webpage, you'll find weekly art lessons that the whole Niagara Falls Elementary Art Team of teachers has put together for you. They are grade-level specific and there will be new lessons every week using basic supplies that are easily attainable  for everyone. 

I'm happy to share ideas here for additional visual art exploration, and will add new ideas often; so have fun browsing this website, learning about art and staying healthy!  

Finally, I would love to celebrate your success if you would share your creations with me by sending pictures through eMail to: cbrooks@nfschools.net Please remember to include your name and code (name - grade - regular teacher) in the subject!
