Dear parents,
I am pleased that your child/children have expressed interest to attend my art class. Here my students will learn much more about how to create and understand art. Through the art making process, students will learn how to think critically, problem solve, express themselves, and to think creatively. These skills will take them farther in their curriculum outside of the art classroom, and will enable them to succeed.
The goals of my classroom are to encourage my students to express themselves effectively through visual and verbal means while building a foundation of art knowledge, vocabulary, and skills through the Elements of Art and Principles of Design. The students will also learn how to use these skills to observe and understand the world around them.
Their work will be exhibited every year at our student art show, where they will win awards and will be able to discuss their work with other students, faculty, and parents. My students will also be encouraged to display their work at public galleries, functions, and even the State Fair. I will personally compile a group of works to display at these venues as well, given the permission of the student and their parents.
Each lesson taught in my class will consist of a history lesson about a particular artist or movement. The students will be able to identify works of art from moments in history and from famous artists all around the world. They will also be given the opportunity to view historical and meaningful works of art from field trips to the local art museum.
I look forward to working with you and your children, and if you have any questions or concerns, you can contact me through the attached email address.
It's going to be a great year!
Sincerely,
Mr. Grant Erd
