We are excited for another great year of Art at Foothill Elementary!!! Art fosters creativity and stimulates the mind. ART IS FUN! Involvement in the arts is associated with gains in math, reading, cognitive ability, critical thinking, and verbal skill. Arts learning can also improve motivation, concentration, confidence, and teamwork.
Foothill Elementary ‘s Art program runs from October to April with monthly art projects that are then displayed and celebrated at the Art Gala. Your responsibilities will be to coordinate with your teacher to make art a positive and collaborative effort, teach art principles, and help the students compose individual art projects. This website will contain detailed instructions, finished examples, power point presentations and video instruction (if needed) for each project. We will be using many of the same projects from previous years and some fun new projects.
We know this program would be nothing without our parent volunteers. We hope you will join us in making Visual Arts happen at our school. We are in need of parent volunteers in each classroom. If you are interested in volunteering contact your students teacher or the Art Co-Chairs at foothillartsprogram@gmail.com.
Whether you are a teacher who is leading, a child who is participating, a parent who is volunteering, or a community member who wants to help volunteer or donate, we welcome your help! We would like to thank Liz Winter for all the work she did developing the art program the last few years, and we will continue to draw from her expertise.
Thank You,
Allison Corey and Stacia Pratt
Art Co-Chairs
