Art and Literacy – A Sweet Combination

November 27, 2007 · No Comments




During a school visit one day I was struck by the talent that our students possess. Their artwork work was smartly framed on the walls for everyone in the school to see.

I thought it would be neat to put this on a website so even more people could enjoy it. I contacted some of the Art teachers in the District and we are now in the process of collecting and showcase their work on our Virtual Art Gallery website.

But it gets better! The Literacy Mentor and I were talking a few months ago and we are hoping to use the site to teach Middle School students how to comment on artwork. We are hoping to be able to link students’ comments about the art to the actual piece on the website!

Cool!
