The Ratner School Art Program

I trust you all enjoyed a restful and peace filled winter break. I am excited to be back at school with a full schedule of new projects and experiences for the students. I am sorry that half of the student body did not get to experience the MOCA field trip due to the unexpected snow day right before winter break. I was disappointed, but there was no way to re-schedule a visit to see the exhibit as they all closed the following week. We will be going to see the next set of exhibits in the spring, so everyone will get to go to MOCA! 

I am excited to tell you all that 3 of our students placed in the Scholastic Art Awards competition. I am so proud that Emma P. and Dustin C. received the top Gold Key Award and Abe K. placed with an Honorable Mention. This is quite a competitive program and the 7th and 8th grade students should all be proud of the work they created for the competition. The show is on display for a short time at the Cleveland Institute of Art from 1/17/2017 - 2/3/2017 in the Reinberger Galleries.
