Welcome to the Hatherly Art Website. The purpose of this site is to celebrate and inform parents, guardians and friends about what we create and accomplish through our art classes.
Students not only learn art techniques and skills to create works in such areas as drawing, painting and printmaking, they also are introduced to art movements and artists. Just as important though, are the very valuable life skills and habits of mind that a strong art curriculum can teach. Through art students learn and practice persistence, problem solving, observation, innovation, recognition of connections, and self-reflection.
It is my goal that your children love the time they spend in the art room. Please visit the student galleries to view examples of art lessons. Additionally, you can find links to local museums, artists and kid friendly websites. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns at Lberton@scit.org
