After-school Art Instruction
Session IV

Mrs. Plangemann's next session of after school art classes will be held on five consecutive Wednesdays from 3:00 - 4:15 in the Art Room. Dates are May 5 - June 2.

*Please note: This session is now full.
My name is Mrs. Janet Plangemann. I am a member of St. Thomas More Parish and have been teaching art here at STM for nine years. All kindergarten through eighth grade students have art class once a week in the art room located on the first floor of the main building. We routinely integrate art with grade level subject areas such as literature, social studies, religion, and math. Students have the opportunity to create art and explore a wide variety of art media. Through the use of information technology, slides, and fine art prints, students are exposed to a wide variety of artists and their artwork.
We will be celebrating our annual STM Arts Festival the weekend of May 7. Friday afternoon and evening, we will enjoy the presentation of the play, "You're a Good Man Charlie Brown". The colonnade and hallways are beginning to overflow with examples of artwork created by students in all grades.
Our school will be open after masses on Sunday. Be sure to take the time to explore our very own "STM Art Museum" and see our students' interpretations of Monet, Matisse, Picasso, Michelangelo and more!
This annual art contest will take place the weekend of May 22. Any student in grades 5 -8 may submit artwork for preliminary judging to Mrs. Plangemann by Friday May 7. All artwork must be matted. Artwork may also be framed. Please see Mrs. Plangemann for the necessary paperwork. More information will follow.
