LVAA Grant: Received by Visual Art Teacher, Carolyn Braden

I received a grant a few weeks ago that will fund an art project I planned for my 5th grade students. Here is the article from the JCPS Monday Memo:

Kudos to Martha Bartlett, art teacher at South Park Teenage Parent Program (TAPP), and Carolyn Braden, art teacher at Schaffner Traditional Elementary. Bartlett and Braden were both awarded with JCPS Visual Art Supply Fund Grants, which they will use to initiate special visual arts projects in their schools. Bartlett will create a personal story quilt with each of her students that can eventually be passed down from generation to generation. They will reflect on their lives using journaling, memory, exploration, lifelines, and sharing to develop the significant life events into a story. Braden will create a ceramic relief tile mural for the Schaffner lobby with her fifth-grade students. The students will create a relief self-portrait on a clay tile that will ultimately form the shape of a dolphin, which is the school's mascot. Application deadlines for the Louisville Visual Art Association (LVAA)-sponsored JCPS Visual Art Supply Fund grant are Thurs., Nov. 15, and Sat., June 15. To apply, art teachers may click here and download an application. For more information, contact Jackie Pallesen at 896-2146, Ext. 104.

Square 1 Art Projects!

The students are working hard at their Square 1 Art projects! For this art fundraiser, all students will receive 20 free stickers with their artwork on them. With the stickers, all students will receive packets that include a catalog of items you can purchase with their art on it. There are items like iPhone cases, travel mugs, drawstring backpacks, canvas totes, t-shirts and so much more! The items are excellent quality and very reasonably priced.

The Kinders are creating owl portrait paintings.
The 1st graders are creating Rainbow Fish portraits.
The 2nd graders are creating Pigasso or Mootisse portraits.
The 3rd graders are creating Georgia O'Keffee flowers.
The 4th graders are creating Picasso Portraits.
The 5th graders are creating lizard portraits.

Help make this fundraiser a success! Look for the order packets around October 17th.

The students art looks fantastic and I am excited to bring this program to Schaffner this year!
