WHAT IS ART GOES TO SCHOOL?
As volunteers, we get to learn about 18 works of art, spanning ancient to contemporary art over the course of 5 meetings, and how to discuss them with elementary school students. All Lower Merion elementary schools participate. This is a fun and relaxed program and students are encouraged to make their own discoveries. Volunteers do not need prior art or teaching experience, just enthusiasm and a love of art! Commitment? • Five weekday (non compulsory) AM meetings where we learn about the art and discuss how to share with students (end of September to beginning November). • If you miss a meeting, Cheat Sheets are posted online so don’t worry! We also offer an optional Saturday meeting plus an evening Wrap Up. • Our scheduled classroom weeks are usually 2 weeks during [month]. Why volunteer? This is a truly fun and rewarding program. Program runs over a relatively short period of time. Meetings are enjoyable! learn about art with no pressure, meet parents from other LM elementary schools. Coffee / refreshments provided. Classroom time is fun! both sharing the art work with the students and hearing their thoughts & observations. It's flexible : You may choose how many meetings you attend and how much classroom time you sign up for. New volunteers are invited to watch other classes before they teach if they wish. We are a supportive group :) It's such a great arts program to be able to offer our students who are always intrigued to see what the new portfolio brings each year. It seems to capture their attention to see so much variety side by side and up close. And... kids' reflections are funny, insightful, thoughtful and enthusiastic. You'll have some good stories to tell. *NO PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE OF ART OR ART HISTORY IS AT ALL NECESSARY* Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LMAGTS/ the (December) 2017 portfolio... some of the art work from the 2016 portfolio: |
