Monsters & Grotesques, Sculptures & Portraits: An Inspiring Culminating Event

April 17th, 2011 Comments off

The Art & Language Arts teachers who participated in their Culminating Event yesterday demonstrated that 5th grade students can analyze an 18th-century portrait with astute insights, 1st graders can create adorable clay animal sculptures with detailed textures, and 2nd graders can identify grotesques in works of art. Congratulations to the teachers who completed an intensive year of professional development. We commend you for your dedication to your teaching practice!

The 11th Annual Alumni Event–Full of Ideas, Info, Food, and Fun!

August 7th, 2010 5 comments

It was so great to reconnect with teachers who participated in the Art & Language Arts program over the past 11 years. This year’s alumni event focused on the theme of food in art. Teachers who attended the event explored the relationship of food, art, and history through tours, art-making activities, artistic food preparation, and a lecture by food educator and author Linda Civitello.

We can’t wait to hear how teachers will incorporate today’s information and activities in their classrooms.
