Welcome to our art gallery on Artsonia. Thank you for visiting and supporting the visual arts. The main purpose for this online gallery is for all family members to be given the opportunity to see what is happening in the LSA art room. The gallery also allows parents to keep a digital gallery of their child's artwork from 1st grade through 8th grade.

20% of Artsonia Gift Shop purchases will be given back to the LSA Art Department and will be used to purchase art supplies for our students. Woop woop!
We also have an amazon.com Art Room Wish List. Items on our wish list are used to build our classroom library of books. http://amzn.com/w/1CC2LA8QBHC9L
Donated items can be purchased through amazon and will be shipped directly to LSA. If you wish to give a financial donation or if you have any unused art supplies lying around, please contact Mr. Tim Fote, timfote@yahoo.com


Thank you for providing me the opportunity to teach and show your child the visual arts and God's love!

The reason why I chose this text for my background is because it is my favorite song. This text is important in my life because I listen to it every day. For my self-portrait I enjoyed drawing my hair. Some of the words I chose were “missing him was dark grey all alone”, “we’re burning red”, and “but loving him was red”. These words fit into the theme of my life because it is my favorite song. I like the words I highlighted best in my finished product. I declare that I want god to work through my life by helping me to work with little kids. Jesus answered, “The light will be with you only a little longer. Walk while you have the light so that darkness doesn’t overtake you. The one who walks in darkness doesn’t know where he’s going. Romans 12:35
