Community Resources

The following are some links to local art resources that would provide wonderful enrichment for your child.   One of the best ways to teach your child about art is to visit local galleries, take workshops together, and be inspired by the wonderful exhibits at our local museums.  I will be adding to these throughout the year and will encourage students to do art and think about art in their lives outside of school.   When you model an interest in and appreciation for art and creativity in many forms (from gallery exhibits to architecture to fashion and product design), you have a powerful impact on your child and show them that art is an important and relevant subject.

Please check out the Art Scene on the bulletin board outside the art room for current openings and exhibits. (There are several great ones iwth openings coming up and a wonderful Egyptian exhibit with kid-friendly audio tour at the Frist which is closing soon!)

Please note that I will not be able to screen gallery openings and exhbits, so it is recommended that you call and ask about the age-appropriateness of exhibits before taking your child.
