The Ratner Montessori School Art Program

I love these solid, uninterrupted weeks of school. Before the breaks and the inevitable snow days hit us, I feel the need to be productive and keep the classes focused on several projects and new techniques.  Today we celebrate Diwali in school and I enjoy seeing the bright colors and learning more about this holiday. We will have a school wide art project later today focused on the traditional rangoli designs. It is always wonderful to see all the students creating and exploring together, thanks to Mrs. Patel for organizing this celebration. I will try to post some pictures of the event later today, check back in to the blog to view them.
