How The Art Masterpiece Program Works

Hello Volunteers,

 I have had quite a few emails over the summer as to how the program works and don't want people to feel intimidated when making the decision to volunteer. It is a wonderful program that was written by the previous coordinator and we would like to keep it going as much as possible but need the help of our wonderful parents to do so.

The program works by having a volunteer (typically a parent in their own child's classroom) go in once a month (or as often as the teacher and parent agree) and teach a short lesson followed by a coordinating art project. The lessons are all written based around what is currently being taught in cottage and must be followed as these lessons go with the curriculum. ALL supplies as well as the lessons being taught, are supplied. As a volunteer you coordinate with your child's teacher to choose the appropriate lesson, let us know as soon as possible so we can add you to the calendar and get the supplies delivered to the classroom in time for the lesson. You then return the supplies once the lesson is over and we will put it all away. If you are teaching more frequently in the classroom (more then once a month) we can supply an additional lesson that still follows cottage curriculum.

If anyone has any questions in regards to the program or about volunteering, please feel free to comment below.

Art has been proven to aid in the development of young brains and we would love to keep our program alive.

Friendly Reminders

  A few friendly reminders when teaching Art Masterpiece ~ When choosing a lesson please stick to approved lessons on this blog. These have been written and approved by administration in accordance to what is currently being taught in cottages. We appreciate your cooperation with this. ~When planning a lesson, please give at least three days notice to have supplies gathered and delivered to the classroom. If you are unable to give three days notice, please email us ASAP and we will try our hardest to accommodate you in the best way possible. We have multiple classrooms doing art at the same time and do not always have the proper supplies for multiple classrooms teaching the same lesson so the sooner we know about your planned lesson, the better. ~When emailing to request supplies, please include teachers name, date and time, the supply list, and number of students in class. ~When returning supplies, please keep paper separate from anything wet like paint brushes or water cups. We h...

Artwork Changes

Hello Volunteers! Welcome back to the new school year! Our first month started out well, we had 19 lessons in August! That is amazing! I am looking forward to another great year with the Art Masterpiece Program! This year I will be adding a few new lessons and updating any that need to be fixed. Please let me know if any of the links aren't working or if you notice any other issues with the lessons. My main goal for this year is to make Artwork slideshows for each Artist. This will keep the links from changing, so they should always be accessible to you. As well as give us more control as to what the students view in class. I have been careful when choosing the Artwork links but from time to time these sites can change. We haven't had any accidental inappropriate viewings in classrooms but I have been contacted by volunteers or teachers a few times over the past couple years about sites that have put up an inappropriate picture. With slideshows of ...
