art enrichment program
From: Tom Ruzicka (truzicka_at_TeacherArtExchange)
I am looking for whatever advise I can get. I am the PTA chairperson in charge of the art enrichment program at our elementary school. The only problem is that we have no art enrichment program! For the past two years, the PTA has contracted an "art teacher" (really a graduate student in fine arts) who has come and taught six or seven varied lessons to our students in grades 1-6. Our teachers and students have been less that satisfied with this approach and my job is either to refine it or come up with something new. I don't think the problem has been as much with the "teacher" (although both artists had little to no teaching experience) as with the curicculum. We have very litle money to hire a trained teacher and no art classroom (lessons are in the cafeteria), but we do have the support of our teacers and principal and the belief that an art program would benefit our students. If anyone can give me any advise on what kind of program I could put together I would really appreciate it. Thanks.
