Adventure took us into wonderful fine arts programs on Thursday, beginning with Kristen Simpson’s art class at Ida M. Stewart Elementary School.
Students were using heat to create stunning 3-D works inspired by renowned glass artist Dale Chihuly.
Others working with fibers proudly shared their handmade creations — tiny pillows they’ll get to take home.
The delightful group welcomed us with open arms into their creative corner of the school, where they were quick to introduce us to their class pet, a bearded dragon named after bearded artist — Bob Ross.
It was a joyful reminder that art classrooms are more than places to learn techniques — they’re spaces where imagination, confidence, and community grow every day.
