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.

I am currently working on other grants that will hopefully fund even more great projects!
