Hiawatha School
Essex Junction, Vermont
Welcome to our visual arts gallery on Artsonia. Thank you for visiting and supporting the arts. With the money generated through Artsonia we purchased some beautiful new paint that had a metallic finish for our Egyptian unit in first grade. We were also able to complete the caps project, using recyled bottle caps in our study of Georges Seurat which was a pre-school through third grade project.. With your help the children will have additional art supplies to enhance our art curriculum.


Thank you for the many efforts that you have made this year in supporting our young artists with your encouraging comments. Writing artistic statements help children to think about art vocabulary and the process that artist's go through to critique the work that they produce.
