Shaker Lane Elementary
Littleton, Massachusetts
Welcome to our visual arts gallery on Artsonia! Thank you for visiting and supporting the arts. The money generated through Artsonia will help purchase art supplies for the school. Artists at Shaker Lane are exposed to drawing, painting, collage and three dimensional forms. Our focus is on learning about materials and what we can do with them. Enjoying the process of creating art and being proud of what we have created are among my most important goals for the children. Please leave a comment for your special artist to let them know you have seen their fantastic work! Stephanie Ignazio Art teacher

My favorite part of this artwork is the moon. I learned how to draw a pumpkin.

My favorite part of this artwork is the stars. To create the artwork I started with the hills, then I designed the hills, then I created the background.
