Welcome to the 2016 - 2017 school year! And welcome to our Art Literacy blog. My name is Becky Solonika, and I am one of your Art Lit. Coordinators at Hazeldale Elementary. My amazing partner in this endeavor is Meredith Middaugh. We are both so excited to bring art to our Hazeldale community this year, and we could use your help! Our goal as co-coordinators is to have all of the 6 lessons taught in every classroom at our school. This will bring a minimum of 6 hours of Art History instruction and Creative Expression to each student at Hazeldale this year. Let's do this!
The Art Lit program is run entirely by volunteers; parents and community members just like you! You do not need to have a background in art to volunteer. We will train you for each lesson, provide all the materials, and support you along the way. Being an Art Lit volunteer basically gives you rock-star credit at the school. Art Lit time is an absolute favorite of the students. These are lessons and projects that former students really remember because they are engaging, interesting, and different from their day to day school routines. This program offers a fun and meaningful opportunity to get involved in our children's education. Furthermore, your time and energy is sooo appreciated by us, the students, your classroom teacher, and the entire staff at our school. We know how busy life gets with kids, work, and the countless other elements of our lives. Your time is valuable! This program does not happen without volunteers. Have I convinced you to volunteer yet?! There might be a Dutch Brother's gift card in it for you if you play your cards right. Enjoy these last few days of summer! We look forward to working creatively with you. Check out our Art Lit bulletin boards in the hallway next time you're at the school. They offer a preview of the two artists we will be teaching about this fall; local artist James Lavadour and the legendary Henri Matisse.
