Evergreen Public Schools

Art Discovery Program

Crestline Elementary

The Art Discovery Program provides K-5 students with an opportunity to explore
Great Art in the classroom, by using fine Art Reproductions. The goal of the program is to expose students to different types of art and art techniques and to teach them
Basic Elements and Principles of Art.

Why is the Art Discovery Volunteer Program important?

Looking at and talking about art encourages thinking skills: observing, remembering, comparing, questioning and making choices. Learning about art helps students to form and verbalize their own ideas, which cultivates creative thinking as well as language ability. Great art has always enriched people’s lives. Volunteers, as well as the students, find this program extremely enjoyable!

Parent volunteers teach a monthly, theme-based lesson and facilitate a

related art project with the students.

Your monthly themes for 2012-2013 are:

	September	The Magical World of Bev Doolittle
	October	Landscapes
	November	Poem as Lovely as a Tree
	December	Rockwell and His Rivals
	January	Still Life
	February	Male African American Masters
	March	Vincent van Gogh
	April	American Visions of the Sea
	May	Sharon Anhorn
	June	Barbara Schrag Collection
