October's Art Lit project was Tigard Public Art, specifically the Fence Cup Project. Thank you to Leah Baldwin and the Art Lit volunteers. The students had a great time helping install the fence cups. This project has added a special touch to our school! To see a time-lapse video of the project click here or click on the picture.
While usually funded by the PSO, this project was funded by an annual grant from the Art in the Burbs event. It’s a great event to do some shopping while giving back. Over 90 artists donate 20% of their profits to provide grants to each school in the district. You can learn more at artintheburbs.org.
Picture retake day is Tuesday, November 19th. If you previously ordered but want new pictures, be sure to send the original picture packet to school with your child. They will give this to the photographer and have a new picture taken. If your haven't ordered but would like to, orders may be placed online at mydorian.com or your student can ask the office for an order form.
Fundraiser alert! Your student has created art for the Square1 Art Fundraiser and items are ready to be purchased. A catalog with stickers went home last week. You can also shop until November 15th by going to: https://shop.square1art.com/Shop/artwork/Search. It's a wonderful way to preserve their masterpieces and support our school. Proceeds will go towards funding more Art Lit projects. If you have any questions, please reach out to rutkinartlit@gmail.com. Happy shopping!
