Cultural Sensitivity Warning:
This is a broad survey of SOME of the different kinds of art created by SOME of the diverse peoples who lived in the region. The cultures represented here are not monoliths and every effort should be made to highlight that, though the art in this region has similarities, the people who created it had varying beliefs and cultural structures: they were not all the same.
Consider - when we look at the art of another culture, does it mean the same thing to us as to the people who made it? Does that matter?
You may have students in the room that have direct connections to these cultures. Be respectful!

Instructions for the art project can be found here:
Oceania Prod - Crayon Batik.docx.pdfWe will offer students the opportunity to make any content they want in the batik-style. They do NOT need to try to create a pattern or image that might be considered cultural appropriation. They may draw inspiration from whatever source they choose.
Monthly Schedule
This schedule is for reference ONLY.
Correct lesson times are posted in MyImpact. Lessons shown on this calendar CAN AND DO change throughout the month depending on teacher and volunteer needs.
The following teachers need volunteers! Please consider helping the following rooms:
There will not be a June lesson. All teaching materials must be returned to the district.
There are lots of ways to volunteer!
Lesson Prep
Some of the projects require a bit of effort before and during to be successful. Your help is greatly appreciated cutting, sorting, organizing, stapling, etc so that our students can focus on the art.
Help is often needed before the volunteer training and again midway through the month to make sure there are enough supplies to go around.
Upcoming lessons that require assistance will have an entry in MyImpact under Art Literacy.
Lesson Presenter
Training Required
Some lessons need a little bit of refining. The presenter should attend the art lit training for information on the lesson, how to use the technology, and how the art project will work.
The lesson presenter will take what they have learned and share that information with students as a guest teacher.
Please RSVP by using MyImpact. This gives us a way to contact volunteers to follow up or provide information about changes to the training.
Lesson Helper
Nothing but the fun stuff! Lesson helpers will hand out art supplies, support student-artists who have questions or are working with more advanced tools, and help keep things in order.
Helpers do NOT need to attend training but will need to find an experienced Lesson Presenter to work with.
What's Ahead...
Art in the Wild
Your world is filled with art! While on summer break, notice statues in parks, sidewalk chalk art in your neighborhood (or your own driveway!), the covers of the books that you read, or murals on the sides of buildings. There is art everywhere! We learned about several artists this year; do you recognize any of their work or their style of art?
