Meet the Masters

Hopefully you have heard of this exciting supplemental art program here at CIE where a core of moms, dads, and grandparent volunteers come together to deliver a unique program rich in art history and amazing hands on creative projects to every child on a monthly basis. The goal is to deliver a consistent program (in conjunction with their weekly art activities and FCAT guidelines) where we are introducing new skills, techniques, vocabulary, and art aesthetics of world famous master artists to every class at every grade level.

Each month we feature a new artist and hold monthly training sessions using PowerPoint slideshows, art replicas, and a variety of mixed media creative projects, so that every volunteer previews an actual lesson and can easily assist with their child’s class.

This is an interesting and fun way to get involved with your child’s classroom on a monthly basis and meet other parents ~ and WE NEED YOU! If we don’t have volunteers for every class, the children lose the opportunity to enjoy the escape that art allows! We hope to continue growing this program and that our children develop a sincere love and appreciation of art and its associated benefits such as conflict resolution and enhanced math and music appreciation skills!
