MASTERS ART PROGRAM
The parent
volunteer ‘Masters’ Art Program is for grades three through six. There are five ‘master’ artists introduced
each year from different periods of time in art. These artists are presented to the students
by parents using slides, power point presentations, posters and creative hands
on projects. At the end of the sixth
grade, all the students will have studied at least 18 significant master
artists. Third grade has a ‘Survey
of Artists’ and a Van Gogh
presentation. Grades four, five and six
will be studying such artists as Picasso, Michelangelo, Monet, O’Keeffe, Warhol
and Dali. Related field trips to Art
Museums are arranged when local exhibits are available.
