Meet the Masters Program

What is Art Masters?

Art Masters is a PTA-funded program designed to introduce various works by such masters as Monet, Picasso, and O'Keeffe to kids from Kindergarten to the 8th grade. PTA volunteers assist in administering a professionally designed interactive curriculum to teach the children about different artistic styles and concepts.

How is this Done?

"Introducing the Masters" Assemblies:

The Meet The Masters experience begins with a multi-media assembly(slides, artist voices, music etc.) where the students learn about the fascinating lives and famous works of the Master Artists. Interactive questions and eye-catching props will keep the students' attention while walking through a virtual museum (available on Slides or CD-Rom) filled with interesting stories and facts.

"Learning from the Masters" Technique Packets:

Now that the children have a true connection to the artist, it is time to introduce the techniques which made the art revolutionary. Back in the classroom they will work on a mostly self-guided follow-up packet which will be the pencil-on-paper means for your student to "Learn from the Masters".

"Working with the Masters" Art Projects:

After learning the inspiration and techniques of each Master the children are ready for the real fun. Your classoom will transform into an art studio as the well-equipped teacher leads the protégés on a step-by-step journey through the art project. Often in the same medium as the Master, the students will discover their creativity while developing confidence in their own unique abilities.

This is a great way to supplement a district art program and to provide the children a lasting appreciation for the fine arts! To find out more about this program, please visit Meet the Masters on the web or contact: Mary Bola at (714) 378-3961.
