Visual Arts at ASM

Tim is using the California Framework and Standards as a reference for the Visual Arts program for grades K-12. Each week, students will be working on a variety of projects in class and at home. He will be meeting with each grade level to develop meaningful and relevant lessons that can be reinforced in your lessons.

For example, KG2 is working on the alphabet, and Monday they are doing the letter "A". In art, students will be drawing ants, alligators, and other animals along with learning about line, shape, and color (3 of the elements of art).

Provided below is a link to the California Visual and Performing Arts Framework and Standards for your review. In addition, each grade level will be given an Art Folder that will have homework assignments, information, a print-out of grade-specific standards, and Visual Art vocabulary you can use in your classroom.

Please feel free to send Tim your general lesson plans, topics, etc. now or you can wait for the meeting that will take place over the next 2 weeks. Thank you, and let's make ASM's Visual Arts Program the best it can be!

Dinner on Wednesday night @ 6:30 & Photos

Teachers will be meeting at 6:30 p.m. in front of the Koutoubia mosque, across from the Medina, then we will head over to our host's riad for dinner!

Also, your photo will be taken for a newsletter that will be distributed on the first day of school. If you want to prepare a short, 3 line biography about yourself beforehand, it would help us complete the newsletter!
