Art Docent Program
Pomerado PTA volunteers
comprise the Art Docent program. These volunteers visit each classroom,
and work with the students on art projects throughout the year. These
projects are spotlighted at an Art Show near the end of the school year.
We will be featuring some of the artwork on the school website as the
year progresses. Please talk with your child's teacher if you are
interested in being an Art Docent volunteer.
This year the Art Docents
will using an art curriculum called ARTS ATTACK. Following is
information from ARTSATTACK on this program. More information can
be found at www.artsattack.com.
ARTS ATTACK
is an award-winning video-based art curriculum that addresses the needs
of classroom teachers, parent volunteers and art specialists. Using
video-based teaching methods, ARTS ATTACK provides the classroom
teacher with unprecedented ease-of-use, breadth-of-scope and results
oriented validation.
Developed in the
classroom over a seven year period,
ARTS ATTACK is a comprehensive, hands-on, developmental and
sequential program based on the teaching of art elements and principles.
Its unique video-based teaching tools have consistently produced
inspired students and creative student artwork in
conventional classroom situations, as well as GATE,
Special Education, At Risk, and other special programs.
Every ARTS ATTACK
lesson is presented on videotape, and is reinforced by lesson plans. Not
only is the video a rich source of creative ideas and inspiration, it
also clarifies the objectives, materials, techniques and procedures of
each lesson. Abundant instructional coverage, as well as that of
students in classrooms performing the lesson and displaying their
finished artwork, consistently produces exceptional student results and
learning, independent of the art background of the teacher or parent
volunteer.
