Welcome to ART SMART

Welcome to Art Smart 2018-2019! We are excited for our third year of art smart here at Hillsdale. Thank you to all of our parent volunteers who make this such a great and fun program for our kids!

If you are new to art smart the information below will help you to become more familiar with our program and hopefully answer any questions that you may have.

This year we would like you to PLEASE make a sample piece of artwork each month for the artist you are teaching. You can place these sample pieces in the filing cabinet in the art room so that other parents can see different ideas and pieces of art to replicate in the future.
