Dear Bridgeview Families,
It’s been quite a journey navigating through these uncertain times, and I truly appreciated all of your support. There were many challenges I encountered while trying to uphold the art program here at our school, and while it wasn’t perfect, I felt what I could offer would sustain families in these last few months of school. As a mother of two Bridgeview Montessori students, like you, I experienced the ups and downs of keeping our children engaged and learning. No two days were ever the same, but we proved we could persevere, and now we’ve made it to the end of this school year!
Thank you to so many of you who reached out with encouragement and support. You have no idea how replenishing your positivity was. This is such a special school with an incredible community of families and friends. While my first year working here didn’t go quite as planned, I can’t wait to return and am excited to see what next year brings!
I’ve included last week’s art activity, Peaceful Hands. If you haven’t had a chance to participate, there’s still time. After tomorrow, you may mail in your child’s artwork or leave it in the school’s dropbox near the door outside the playground.
I’ve also enclosed a few summer drawing prompts for friends who might be interested in keeping a sketchbook while we’re not at Bridgeview. Children of all ages can participate and bring in their drawings once we’re in school again.
Parent’s, encourage your child to talk about what they’ve created and write down their narrative in a sentence or two or title their work in a few words. Older students can do this themselves. Don’t forget to date it! Saving your child’s drawings allows them to see their progression and skill sets change and grow over time. If you’re concerned about “what to do with it all,” try to photograph their work. Your pictures can be printed and albums can be created as beautiful keepsakes.
Keep in touch! I would love to see the artwork your child creates over the break so email me anytime. I would like to wish all of you a healthy and peaceful summer.
All my best,
Vanessa

Summer Art Activities:
Sandy and I would like to request one more piece of artwork from your child (and you too!) as our school year comes to an end. We stand united on inspiring peace and kindness here at our school and we would like to display this message with the help of our students’ incredible creativity for the start of our next school year.
Peaceful Hands- Using a piece of paper (any color) and pencil, trace your hand, hand and wrist, or your hand and entire forearm. Using any sort of art materials you have available, decorate your hand in a way that best represents you as a peaceful and kind person, your hopes for the future, and/or how you can change this world to make it a better place. Here are some examples to get you started, but we’re confident you will let your creativity shine through to make your artwork unique and one-of-a-kind.
You will need to find a way to get your Peaceful Hand to school. There are two ways you can deliver your artwork to school. First, you can mail it to us at:
Bridgeview Montessori School
P.O. Box 270
Sagamore, MA 02561
Or, you can place it in the school's dropbox near the door outside the playground.

Dear Bridgeview Families,
Thank you again for taking the time to share photos and videos of your child’s beautiful artwork with Sandy and me. It really warms our hearts. Take a peek at Bridgeview’s Artists at Home Gallery. THANK YOU to Suzanne for collecting and organizing all of the fabulous images families have sent in.
This week’s new art activities:
Sandy and I have a new art lesson to share with all ages, just like our Dot! lesson we created a few weeks back. This time we’re featuring dragons!
Please listen to the story of The Paper Bag Princess by Robert Munsch
Please view this video to learn more about what animals inspired the concept of dragons and how those animals inspired artists
Next, we would like to introduce you to our visiting artist, Scott Buoncristiano. He is a professional illustrator working from home. Click here and learn about the materials he likes to work with, and then watch as he creates an incredible masterpiece right before your very eyes!
Finally, follow along as Sandy and I create some dragons of our own.
Now it’s your turn to make a dragon! Would it have one head, two, or maybe five? Would it be cute and cuddly, scary and ferocious, or something in between? Try to draw, paint, or sculpt (with legos, clay/playdough, or recyclables) a dragon of your own. Your dragon does not have to match mine or Sandy’s. Let your creativity shine!
***Families who are short on art supplies, please contact your child’s art teacher to set up a time to pick up materials at school. We realize not every household is fully stocked with art materials, so if there is something your child needs, please let us know!***
Be sure to take photos of their masterpieces and share them with us so we can respond back and communicate with your child! Let us know about your experiences and how they went. We’re here to answer your questions, alleviate any concerns you might have, and offer you more suggestions. If a Zoom meeting would help your child in their art-making process, please do not hesitate to contact their art teacher to schedule an online meeting. We can help!
***CALLING ALL BRIDGEVIEW ARTISTS!***
We’re looking for student art teachers to share their amazing artmaking experiences with our school community. If you have an art lesson you would like to share, please have a grown-up help you make a video of your art project so we can watch and learn from you!

Dear Bridgeview Families,
We hope you were able to view our Celebration of Art video this past weekend. Bridgeview students’ artwork was featured along with images from our Community Dots! Exhibit and Fabulous Fish Project. If you missed it or would like to see it again, click here!
This week’s new art activities:
Mud Painting- Warmer weather is the perfect excuse to make some messy art! All you need is some dirt (⅓ cup), a few plastic cups or bowls, water, food coloring, and something to stir it all up (like sticks or spoons). You’ll want to mix enough water with the dirt to make it the same consistency as pudding. If it’s too watery, pour off some of the water and add more dirt. To make different colors, at 10 or more drops of food coloring to each cup and stir well. Be sure to keep one cup free of food coloring. That will be your brown paint. Apply paint to white paper (the heavier the paper, the better) with your fingers or with paintbrushes. Can you paint a picture of something you see outside? A picture of your house or favorite animal? An insect?
Paint Dandelions with Toilet Paper Rolls- Here are a list of materials you will need: toilet paper rolls, scissors, white poster paint, cotton stuffing or cotton balls stretched out slightly, colored paper, 4-6 cotton swabs bound with an elastic, as well as some individual ones, and a plate or piece of foil for your paint. This video will guide you through preparing the toilet paper rolls and the steps needed to create a whimsical painting of your own. Adult supervision is required for younger students.
Silly Drawing Prompts- Using any medium you like (pencil, marker, crayon, colored pencil, or pen)...
1. Draw french fries on a rollercoaster.
2. Draw yourself as a cartoon character with a superpower.
3. Draw a llama surfing.
4. Draw a shark eating a cupcake.
5. Combine two different animals and draw the new species.
6. Draw your art teacher on an island.
7. Draw a taco dancing at a disco.
8. Draw an ice cream cone eating a popsicle.
9. Draw crayons visiting an art museum.
10. Draw a chicken dunking a basketball.

Bridgeview Dot Celebration Lessons
Dear Young Artists,
Please watch the three following lessons about dots in the order listed below.
The Dot: Part 1
The Dot: Part 2
The Dot: Part 3
Vanessa and I are asking all families to participate in this school-wide art project for our Celebration of Art on Friday, May 15th. After watching the last video, we would like each student (and family members too) to create and sign their own personal dot. Elementary II, please have it finished for a Zoom meeting with Sandy, your art teacher on Friday, May 8th. More details to follow. Elementary I, you will be hearing from Vanessa as to how their lessons will unfold.
You will need to find a way to get your dot to school. There are two ways you can deliver your dot to school. First, you can mail your dot to us at:
Bridgeview Montessori School,
P.O. Box 270,
Sagamore, MA 02561
Or, you can drop off your dot here at school on Monday, May 11th between the hours of 8:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m. There will be a plastic container outside the front door for you to put your dot in.
WE REALLY, TRULY, AND DEEPLY WANT YOU TO PARTICIPATE! The deadlines matter. We’re looking forward to seeing your beautiful masterpiece!
Optimistically yours,
Sandy and Vanessa

Greetings, Bridgeview Montessori families!
A big THANK YOU to all of our amazing artists and the work that they have shared with us over these past several weeks! Check out their masterpieces in Bridgeview’s Artists At Home Gallery.
Here are this week’s at-home art lessons for your child to work on. Remember, the projects we’ve chosen are to help enrich your student’s school-related work schedule. Please share these activities with your child and allow them to pick at least one project that interests them the most. Grown-ups, get in on the art making experience and feel free to partake in these activities too! Making art is such a special way to bond with your child.
This week’s art activities:
Click to expand image.
Surprise Creatures- This is a fun drawing activity with an element of surprise. At first, your creature looks intact, but when you pull down the folded paper, WHOA! You’ll need some white paper, a pencil, markers, crayons, and/or colored pencils. Click here for step-by-step instructions on how to fold your paper. A fish, an alien, an animal, or a person will work. An egg or a box (some sort of container) works really well too! Be sure to color them in when you’re done drawing.
2. Friendship Bracelets- Shout out to the Irwin Family for passing along this great idea! Embroidery thread is ideal but yarn will work too. Here is a link to show you how to make a small cardboard loom and a friendship bracelet for yourself, family, and friends!
3. Tin Foil Art- Guess what! Did you know paper isn’t the only type of material we can draw, paint, or color on? Check out these interesting ways below on how to transform a typical household product into works of art. Foil painting allows the artist to paint on a slippery, reflective surface. Remember, you don’t always have to use a paintbrush either. Try a Q-tip, cotton balls, kitchen utensils, or your own fingers! Textured Tin Foil Art is another way to use this fun material, but instead of painting on the foil, you’ll create interesting raised lines and apply color with permanent markers. Tip: If you do not have a glue gun for this particular project, white glue works just as well. Allow the white glue to dry for at least 24 hours before applying the foil on top.
Please continue to take photos of their masterpieces and email them to me and Sandy. Let us know about your experiences and how they went. We’re here to answer your questions, alleviate any concerns you might have and offer you more suggestions.
Stay tuned for new art activities after our break!

Pet Portrait- Draw a portrait of your pet using a pencil and white paper. If you don’t have a pet, then draw a portrait of an animal you would love to own one day. If you have more than one pet or want to draw more than one animal, create a portrait for each animal and then set up an animal gallery in your home.
Sidewalk Chalk Art- Your driveway or sidewalk can be your canvas! When the weather is nice, go outside and design some masterpieces of your own using sidewalk chalk. Here is a link to some creative ideas you could use as inspiration as you design your own as a family. Here are some more fun ideas!
Painted Paper Collage- Using a variety of colored tempera paints, paint and decorate several sheets of white paper with bold patterns and interesting designs. Let these dry overnight. The next day, cut your beautiful sheets of colorful paper in half. Think of a picture you could collage by cutting out shapes from your painted paper and gluing them together on a new piece of paper. Could you make an insect? A flower? An underwater scene or something in outer space? If you need some inspiration, check out the author and illustrator, Eric Carle. You might even have one of his books lying around your house. Click here and scroll down to pictures of how he paints tissue paper and makes his illustrations from them.

Happy Spring Bridgeview Montessori families!
Sandy and I have truly enjoyed receiving images of all of our students’ amazing artwork. We cannot wait to see more! Check out their masterpieces in Bridgeview’s Artists At Home Gallery.
Here are some new at-home art lessons for your child to work on this coming week. Remember, the projects we’ve chosen are to help enrich your student’s school-related work schedule. Please share these activities with your child and allow them to pick at least one project that interests them the most. Each child should complete at least one activity to the best of his or her ability.
This week’s art activities:
Object Color Wheel- Springtime always makes us think of rainbows. Explore the colors of the rainbow and collect random objects from around your house. Look for things that are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. Don’t forget tertiary colors like red-orange, yellow-orange, yellow-green, blue-green, blue-violet, and red-violet. Place them in a circle, in rainbow order, photograph your object color wheel, and send it in.
Photo credit @artwithmrsfee and @mumsart
Line Designs- “A line is a dot that went for a walk…” Go on a line hunt with your family. How many types of lines can you find inside or outside of your house? Look for lines that are straight, zigzag, broken, thick, thin, curly, and spiral; just to name a few. How do lines show direction? They can appear vertical (up and down), horizontal (left to right), and diagonally (slanted). Using a black crayon on a sheet of white paper, push firmly to draw and overlap a variety of lines moving vertically, horizontally, and diagonally. Next, apply watercolor paints to fill in your background. You can make more than one line design using just warm colors (red, orange, yellow) or using cool colors (blue, green, and violet) in your background. Another fun experiment is attempting a wet-on-wet technique. After drawing your black lines on white paper, soak your artwork in cool water, drain, and then apply the watercolor paints to your wet paper. Notice anything different?
Monoprints- This form of printmaking is really “one-of-a-kind” Click here for step-by-step directions on how to create your very own monoprints. Make your prints as small or as big as you like! For inspiration, think of making images that remind you of spring.
DIY Salt Dough Spring Ornaments- This link provides directions on how to create your own salt dough and then transform the dough into whimsical ornaments for spring. Any type of cookie-cutter shape will work. This a fun and memorable way to brighten up your indoors now that spring has finally arrived.
Be sure to take photos of their masterpieces and share them with us! Let us know about your experiences and how they went. We’re here to answer your questions, alleviate any concerns you might have and offer you more suggestions.

Greetings, Bridgeview Montessori families!
During these uncertain times, it’s important to Sandy and me that we provide our students with a feeling of normalcy and continue to foster their love for art and creating. Here are a few ideas we’ve come up with to help enrich their school-related work schedule each day. Remember, these ideas can be created and then recreated in multiple mediums so please encourage your child to try to imagine multiple manifestations of these interesting art inspired activities.
This week’s art activities
Create a family portrait with any medium you have available. This can be done either two-dimensionally (2-D) or three-dimensionally (3-D). Some art materials to consider using are paper, pencil, colored pencils, crayons, markers, ink, chalk, oil pastels, paint, modeling clay, found objects, sticks, stones, etc. Families come in all sorts of wonderful combinations. Feel free to make as many family portraits as you would like. Don’t forget your pets!
Draw a picture and then turn your design into a 3-D sculpture using Lego pieces. Here are some ideas if you need a little inspiration… Create your dream house, a tree house, a bird house, your favorite wild animal and their habitat, robots, dinosaurs, dragons, or maybe some aliens and the planet they live on. You can even combine these ideas or invent your very own! Did your 2-D drawing/plan match your 3-D model? Let us know what you created and what worked and what didn’t.
Go outside and go on a nature scavenger hunt. After you find the items listed below, create some environmental artwork, either in 2-D or 3-D. Was it easy to find everything? Describe what you decided to create. Did you leave your artwork as is or did you return all of your items back to nature? Is your artwork still intact after one week?
Please pick one, complete and take photos of your masterpieces and share them with us. Let us know of your experiences and how it went.. We’re here to answer your questions, alleviate any concerns you might have, and offer more suggestions.
Stay tuned for next Monday’s new art activities!
