Hello! Welcome to the Liberty Artists Webpage!
I am Liberty School's Art Teacher, Mrs. Johnson. This is my 10th year at Liberty School. My last name may be unfamiliar to some of you though, because I just got married over the summer!This page is a new addition to our art class! I will display examples of student artwork from the many projects that we complete each month, and student art exhibits. You will also find links to fun art websites and information about community art resources. Have fun navigating through the website and checking everything out! :)
If you would like to contact me please e-mail me at djohnson@orland135.org or you may call me at Liberty (708) 364-3800.
Have a Safe & Enjoyable Fall Break!!

This year Liberty School has been awarded Picturing America artwork from the National Endowment for the Humanities! Picturing America is a set of 40 high-quality reproductions of notable American artists throughout history. The pictures will be used in both the art room and the students' classrooms to enhance the teaching and understanding of America's cultural, political, and historical background. All pictures will be on display throughout the school year on a rotating basis on a bulletin board in the hallway that leads to the media center. Please stop by to see these beautiful prints!
