Welcome

The smART studio at DeWitt Middle School emphasizes three main tenets; creating and learning through design process thinking (studio habits of mind), thoughtful verbal and written reflection on Visual Language and it's conversation with the self and humanity, and connections between each other and the world outside our school environment.

So, find your interest and feed the curiosity! Investigate, explore, sketch, create, review, revise, inspire, be inspired and create again. The cycle of learning—the cycle of design—is more than a privilege, it's the pathway to understanding. Through the Arts we cultivate self-directed, self-motivated habits of mind that lead us through a life-long pursuit of learning and participating in society.

The Power of Animation

This is a beautifully composed stop animation that demonstrates the communicative power of the Visual Arts! The storyline is wonderfully constructed and the visuals are stunning & compelling (call to action). Thank you Ms. Cernera for posting this 'short' on you blog!! And, yes.... I too feel like grabbing a good book, finding a comfy chair, and diving into a literary adventure!
