Portraits

Pierre-Auguste Renoir (French 1841 - 1919)
Portrait of Mademoiselle Legrand, circa 1875
Oil on canvas

CCS's budding artists will be studying and making portraits this Fall. This process will entail students looking at and discussing qualities of well-known portraits, working with a variety of media and techniques and eventually creating a self-portrait to display in the CCS Hallway Gallery. Moms and Dads will want to be on the look out for sales on picture frames this year.

Anticipating a New School Year



It's almost time to exchange our swimsuits and summer gear for new school clothes, books, and more disciplined schedules. There is always something exhilarating with these cyclical changes for as one season slips away we embrace the newness of the next. 

I'm looking forward to another wonderful, heARTful year at Christ Church School.
