Greetings!

My name is Elisabeth White and I have the privilege of working with your son or daughter this semester in art class at Northview School. This semesterwe will be building upon basic art fundamentals and we will be working at a rigorous pace. Students will be engaged in many exciting lessons; The art units will serve as hands-on learning opportunities for your son or daughter.

There are some basic supplies that each student needs for art. The list follows:

~ 1.5 or 2” binder with 4 or more section tabs/dividers

~Lined paper for your binder

~Sketchbook with unlined paper, or unlined paper for sketching

~Five number two wooden pencils for the school year

~Large eraser

~Colored pencils

~Pencil pouch with three holes that will be insertedin the front of your art binder

Additional materials that you may like to recycle for us to use are listed on the art webpage:

For questions about assignments or what we are doing in class, see my webpageon Northview’s website is a great resource, which I strive to keep updated. Also available on the webpage are course outlines and information about units and rubrics that will be implemented this semester.

For several assignments this year, students will be learning about the artwork of different cultures and time periods. Some of the works of art that students may come across online may contain depictions of human nudity. There may also be short videos viewed in class that show the human body depicted through art, including videos about a brief history of art, cubism, Renaissance art, etc. There is a permission form on the back of this paper to return where you can grant your permission, or lack thereof, for your son or daughter to view works of art that may show the human body.

As per the district policy, no student may use a computer until the AUP form is returned to Northview. Your student should have received this from his or her A-1 teacher at the beginning of the year and/or in the Open House packet.

If you, at any time, have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me. I can be reached via email at or by calling NorthviewSchool at 704.873.7354.
