Art instruction helps children with the development of motor skills, language skills, social skills, decision-making abilities, and inventiveness. In elementary art, we explore how the 7 Elements of Art (Line, Shape, Color, Value, Texture, Space)  are used to create the 7 Principles of art Art (Balance, Pattern, Rhythm, Movement, Emphasis, Contrast, Unity/Variety). Within this exploration, students study a variety of famous artists, famous art pieces and art materials. 

I’m excited to share that we will be hosting Art Night this year on Monday, March 30, starting at 5:30 p.m. We have some big plans for the evening and could use your help! Throughout the year, we’ll need assistance with 0rganizing, labeling, and hanging student artwork as well ass setting up the night of the show.

If you’re interested, please email me at slthompson@greenville.k12.sc.us. I’ll send you a list of tasks that can be done both throughout the year and on the day of the event. Important: You must be a Level 2 Volunteer and be available to help during the school day.

Thank you for your continued support of the Arts—I’m looking forward to a fantastic Art Night!
