Welcome to the Deer Canyon Art Gallery on Artsonia.
The photos posted here are to let you see the artwork before it comes home in June. All of the artwork posted will be kept in the students' art portfolios until the end of the year so there is plenty of variety for the Deer Canyon Art Show and the County Fair.
The children love to have comments posted-be sure to sign your comment with your first name or mom, dad, grandparent, aunt, etc.
Thank you for your continued support of the Deer Canyon Foundation and our PTA which provides funding for our program. The money generated through Artsonia will help purchase art supplies for the school.

What others are saying ...
Kaitlynn, I am so proud of all of the awesome pictures you drew. It was hard to find the one that I liked best. Maybe when you come to Arizona at Christmas time you & I can find time to do an art project together. Keep up the great work. I Love you so much, Grandma
