PINWHEELS
FOR PEACE - SEPTEMBER 21
"Imagine....Whirled Peace". Project began
by Ann Ayers and Ellen McMillan, two Florida Art Educators. The
website, http://www.pinwheelsforpeace
.com has been updated and they are starting to add participants
to their map as you join (or re- join). This year, there
is an official song that was written and
recorded by a former student - when you hear it, you'll agree that
it
definitely captures the spirit of the project! For those who
wanted
t-shirts and posters, they're also ready to order. The site
also has
a discussion board to share ideas, pinwheel directions and a
template
for making pinwheels. Spread the word!
2006 was a huge success. Ann estimates that there
were one million pinwheels spinning around the world. Plan ahead for
2007.

HIGHLY-SKILLED ART STUDENTS NEEDED TO MAKE PORTRAITS OF CHILDREN
LIVING IN ORPHANAGES - MEMORY
PROJECT
The Memory Project is currently in need of highly skilled, high school
artists to create portraits of children around the world who have been
abandoned or orphaned. Because of poverty and other circumstances,
such children usually have little or no personal belongings. The
portraits intend to provide the children with a special memory of
their earliest years and a permanent reminder of their immeasurable
importance in the world.
This opportunity is ONLY open to students in the very highest level
art class offered at any given high school (AP, Senior Honors, etc.)
More information is available at
http://www.thememoryproject.org/
PENNRIDGE HIGH SCHOOL ART STUDENTS EXHIBIT
"ART OF STORYTELLING' - JAMES A. MICHENER ART MUSEUM
Patty Knott's art students from Pennridge High School exhibited "The
Art of Storytelling" at James A. Michener Art Museum in Doylestown,
Pennsylvania. Pennridge High School is in Perkasie, PA. (http://phs.pennridge.org). The show was up through
February 25. The show took many hours for Patty to prepare, but it was
all worth it. Patty says, the head curator made some great comments.
The museum selected several pieces for their permanent
collection which is so wonderful for the students.
"The Art of Story Telling" was in the Children Gallery: "In our annual
February exhibition, we present a selection of two and
three-dimensional art created by students from Pennridge High School
Upper House. This exhibition explores the connection between visual
art and language."
Frankfort-Schuyler Middle
School students give presentation on integration of art and
technology - Utica New York
"Four seventh-grade students at Frankfort-Schuyler Middle School had a
lesson in subject area integration, and shared their newly-acquired
knowledge with the public during a symposium at the Radisson Hotel in
Utica."
"...Donnalyn Shuster taught an art and technology unit to her
seventh-grade students. The students began with simple line drawings
of sunflowers, then turned those drawings into stamps and finally into
Photoshop masterpieces all to answer the question, "How does the
choice of media influence the artist and the intended result?"

Those of you who are really
integrating technology have a "hook" to get your local paper
interested in your program. Larry Prescott is his own best advocate. He
contacted the newspaper and "sold" his program with enthusiasm - and
invited the reporter to his classroom. The Post Register- Idaho Newspaper
has a wonderful article all about Madison Middle School art program in Rexburg,
Idaho - written by Brian Davidson. The praise of Larry's students practically
wrote the article! Here is one quote that will really make you smile: "We're learning out the
other side of our brain" by S.S. (middle school student) |
The Incredible Art Department can help YOU get in the news, too. Here is my favorite:
"Just enter 'Larry Prescott' into a Google search and see what all he his
doing to promote art of Madison Middle School"
Larry is busy framing
art for the permanent school collection. Students are thrilled to have their art
donated to the school for this project.
Kudos Larry! Keep it going for these students.
