Our 5th graders have had a wonderful time learning about the foundations of still life drawings and how to use watercolor paint. We all enjoy a warm cup of love (I mean, hot cocoa) during these winter months! Art class is a great way to express that joy!

Our lovely 5th graders are working on their first still life project! Still life is an excellent way for our scholars to learn to draw precisely what they see from their perspective. They are learning how to pay attention to every detail that is created from light.

At the Woods Academy, all of our students, Montessori 3 year-olds through 8th grade, have music class as part of their regular curriculum. Many of our students also study instruments outside of school. We love to hear our student instrumentalists perform!
