Expressive Drawing and Printmaking Assignment by Emily Trage, Class of 2020 This piece turned out to be very experimental. I used a medium I’ve never used before: concentrated watercolors. I did the painting on watercolor paper using only one brush.  This tree is supposed to be a reflection of the current uncertainty regarding my future.

Dear TA Families & Students, When Governor Phil Scott issued his original school dismissal order last month, he suggested it would last until April 3. In that early scenario, TA students and staff would be returning to campus tomorrow morning to resume our familiar routines.
