Welcome Back

Hello and welcome back! Some of you may know me as Ms. Heiner and may be wondering who Mrs. Shupe is, but no worries, they are both me! It will take me some getting used to as well (It is pretty new for me too). I hope all of you had a fabulous summer filled with fun and adventure. I am excited for the upcoming year, to meet all my new students, and greet my students from last year. I have some new art projects planned that we are all going to learn from and my hope is that I can keep our fun happenings posted on our art blog. So best of luck to me! I discovered these two artists this summer and I am so excited to introduce them to our class. (not in person, but we will investigate their work and lives a little bit more.) Here is just a taste. This artist is still alive, and is extremely famous. Some of you may have seen his work. His name is Peter Max.
The next artist we will be introducing is Itzchak Tarkay. He is still pretty current, just passed away this last year. We will be talking about him more and studying his use of color and line.
Best of luck this upcoming year. We are going to have some fantastic classes!
