August 7, 2014


Dear Archway Arete Families,


What an exciting time. We have been working hard to prepare for our first year on this lovely new campus. I look forward to our first day of school, August 11, in our exquisite new classroom. I am very excited to meet all of my new 2nd and 3rd grade art students. This year we are going to make so many discoveries and connections in art, not to mention beautiful creations! This year we will explore line, color, shape, and the many masterpieces outlined in Core Knowledge.

The visual arts are diverse yet interconnected by the Truth, Beauty, and Goodness, which are the foundations of great works. Focusing on time-proven classics in the classroom, we can learn why these works are important, how they were made, and how we can incorporate this understanding into our own artwork.


Please email me anytime at MMartinez@ArchwayArete.org


Thank you,

Melissa Martinez

2nd & 3rd Grade Visual Arts Instructor
