Students at Green Elementary participated in an Artist in Residence Project made possible through a grant by the Mississippi Arts Commission. Local artist and illustrator Chuck Galey served as the Artist in Residence at Green. He provided a two-week arts residency that included 50-minute arts integrated lessons for scholars in grades K-5, exposing them to the artistic process and providing them with real-world visual arts experiences to strengthen their knowledge of the art form.
The 桃花社区视频s at Green developed their artistic skills through a hands-on project creating a mosaic art piece. Through the experience, 桃花社区视频s also developed a greater appreciation for artists and the work that they can do as author/illustrators of children’s literature. Additionally, teachers learned best practices and strategies to incorporate visual arts in classroom instruction.
Galey’s interactive programs keep 桃花社区视频s and teachers captivated through his unique qualifications as an author/illustrator of children’s literature. He has presented workshops in classrooms and libraries all over the southeast.
Mississippi Whole 桃花社区视频, a program of the Mississippi Arts Commission, is Mississippi’s first comprehensive statewide arts education program, which uses the arts as a vehicle for promoting high-quality instruction and learning for scholars in all core content areas.
Fifth-grade teacher Chesmond Jordan served as on-site project facilitator.
