Mann Elementary School
Washington, District of Columbia
Welcome to the Horace Mann Visual Arts gallery on Artsonia. Thank you for visiting and supporting the arts. In creating the online gallery, my goal is to promote the value of students seeing their work on display. When our students see a new display at school they look for theirs, who it is next to and how it looks compared to others. They remember their intentions in that very moment. Each brushstroke, new color, unusual shape and imagery has meaning for them. I value the self-assessment they naturally process in viewing their work at school and now online. We would like to make students become part of this process in assessing their work at school, deciding which artwork to photograph & upload and write artist statements. The money generated through Artsonia will help purchase lap tops for the school. Along with the online gallery, students will build their portfolio at school. It is a growing process and takes time. Thank you for coming back to visit!

It's about an artist who makes beautiful piece of pottery that everyone wants. But here is the thing- the piece costs $35, and everyone has $25 so it looks like no one is going to buy it. The end.

It's at night. The butterfly is racing against the other butterflies, but the butterfly flies so high that it reaches the moon.

It's about people at a pumpkin patch. They see that pumpkin, they think its perfect, and someone grabs it before anyone else.
