What is the Creative Colts Art Program?
Country Lane's Creative Colts Art Program is focused on celebrating a variety of cultural influences while teaching students about a few of the many forms art can take. We will work with textiles and paper, learn drawing fundamentals and dabble in some advanced techniques. Our goal is to foster a love of art in all age groups in a fun and encouraging environment led by our parent volunteers. We can't wait to see what our students create!
How can I get involved?
Volunteer to be an Art Guide! Art Guides do not need any experience or background in teaching or art education because we provide all the trainings with prepared lesson plans, materials and instructions. From start to finish, the Art Guide is in the classroom about 60-90 minutes (most of which is spent supervising the students doing the art project). Art Guides work directly with the teacher to schedule the day and time for each lesson. Grades K through 5 undertake six lessons (one per month from October to April). TK has three lessons. April is a make-up month for any missed lessons. In May, we hold an Art Show during Open House where we display a piece of artwork from each student.
In addition to Art Guides, we also need Grade-Level Coordinators (GLC). GLCs do not go into the classroom, but prepare the supplies necessary for each project for their particular grade.
Sign ups for the Creative Colts Art Program take place at the beginning of the year during the Welcome Back Coffee, Back to School Nights in the classrooms and in the volunteer tab on this website.
