Asheville Christian Academy
Swannanoa, North Carolina
Welcome to the Asheville Christian Academy Lower School Art Gallery on Artsonia! I am proud of my students and the art they create each year. Artsonia is a wonderful way to showcase their efforts.
Please continue encouraging friends and family to visit our gallery, leave comments on your favorite works of art, and join fan clubs. The students work very hard on their creations and they love being able to share them with you.
If you decide to check out the gift shop, remember that 20% of what you spend will go directly back to the Art department. If you have any questions about this site or need a security key to register a student, please email me at christine.patete@acalion.org and I will help you get started. If you register your student you will receive emails alerting you each time he or she has new art work added.

THANK YOU for supporting the arts and thanks for visiting!

Very cool, Bridget. I like how you didn't show the whole bike. I never would have thought of that, but it makes the picture interesting. Love you, Aunt Becky -- Aunt Becky

My little bunny is so cute. He runs in the snow all day. Soon he came to a frog and asked how he was doing. The frog could not see the bunny because he blended in with the snow. She needed to find a way to change her color. She tried covering herself in leaves but they were covered in snow so it didn't work. Then the bunny found sticks and covered herself and took a nap while she waited for the frog. The end!

I like that we could make it look like our own personalized tree.
