Supporting the Arts in Your Local Schools

ARTSSMARTS1 In our school district we have a program called "Arts Smarts". PTA moms come in to volunteer teaching students a project on a famous artist.

Thank you PTA moms for all you do.
Though not famous, I was asked by one Kindergarten teacher to participate in the Arts Smarts programs for her class.

I taught the students how I paint, in acrylic and adding bits of collage elements and objects once painting is dry to enhance the painting.

The students dug in with relish, and I'm pleased with their results. The school had a "Museum Night" and parents and students descended upon our transformed school to view all of the Arts Smarts exhibits.
