Wish List

A Community of Artists

Dear Parents, Students, Teachers and Staff,

The art room at Crossett Brook is a working art studio, where students approach art and the art world in a manner similar to practicing artists - identifying ideas and projects, learning new skills and techniques, practicing with materials and tools, developing individual style and voice, and evaluating both process and product.

Interesting finds you think we can use

**If there is a remote possibility we can do something with it, then send

it...we are VERY creative. If we can't use it, we'll either find someone who can, or we will recycle or toss it lovingly.

Thank You!
