The Art Room Joins Social Media!

Follow the goings-on of the Art Room on either Instagram or Facebook: Instagram: @brophy_art_room Facebook: Brophy Art Room Photos of student artwork will be posted to these sites from now on (as opposed to our link on the Brophy homepage) as it is much easier to post and easier for parents to access on these sites. We plan to also create and post instructional videos on our own YouTube channel (which will be a private page for classroom visuals only, and of course will not include children's faces or identifying information.) It's all very fun and exciting. Artfully yours, Mrs. Andrea Baer and Mrs. Megan Walker
