Evergreen Public Schools Art Discovery Program Mill Plain 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. Monthly themes for Mill Plain Elementary 2012-2013: September: Modern Sculpture October: Portraits in Pink and Blue November: The Magical World of Bev Doolittle December: Landscapes January: Poem Lovely as a Tree February: Rockwell and His Rivals March: Still Life April: Male African American Masters May: Vincent van Gogh June: American Visions of the Sea Volunteers are always welcome!
