Thank you to all of the students and teachers that submitted designs. This year’s Youth Art Month theme, “Your Art, Your Voice”, resonated with so many students, and each student submitted their unique interpretation of the 2023 theme. Congratulations to the winners! #nysYAM2023

We’re celebrating Rockland Read-In in Art by creating storyboards! We were able to tell stories ourselves through pictures in our visual narratives. Then we “read” our stories to each other using our art! Our artists are such great storytellers! 📚🖍 Viola Elementary Suffern Central

Our hearts are full!❤️🧡💛💚💙Pre-K friends were inspired by artist Chris Uphues to paint their own happy hearts! We learned about outlining, colors, and shapes while practicing skills. So proud of our youngest artists - they make MY heart so happy! Viola Elementary Suffern Central

Experimenting in the Art Room!🔍 2nd grade artists discovered what happens when we use materials made out of oil and water within the same space! We learned the science behind why certain materials react to others in different ways in our art! 🎨🖌🔬 Viola Elementary Suffern Central
