Alaska State Council on the Arts Every child in every school has the right to a well-rounded education, of which the arts are an essential ingredient. Beyond having great value in and of itself, the arts promote the health and well-being of children, including academic and personal growth, critical thinking and analytical skills, the motivation to stay in school and excel and movement skills to help combat childhood obesity. Quality arts education is central to a complete education. Alaska’s artists and arts organizations are a rich resource that can help schools and communities become creative places where young people flourish and give voice to their personal creativity. The Alaska State Council on the Arts is part of the Department of Education and Early Development.

At the heart of all the components is this document, the curriculum, which represents a comprehensive approach to art education and reflects the Alaska Content Standards in the Arts. This curriculum works because of the other aspects of the program, wherein teachers are trained, supported, and provided with teaching materials to assist them in providing a strong art education for their students. The Fairbanks North Star Borough School District Art Curriculum is comprised of: 1) Written Curriculum - This document outlines what teachers at each grade level should strive to teach their students. 2) Art Specialists and Classroom Inservices - The art specialists are certificated teachers who travel as a team around the district. 3) Art Kits - After a lesson is taught during an “Art Round” (30-45 classrooms), it is transformed into an art kit.

Students Get Into Their Monet Paintings! We are standing on the bridge of our own paintings! Claude Monet and the Impressionists are my very favorite and I really enjoy sharing that love with my students. This project is a special one. We end up having two works of art when we are finished! After learning a bit about Monet's life we use acrylic paint to create a painting inspired by one of his Japanese Bridge paintings. This took a couple class periods. This helped me remove the background using Keynote's Alpha tool. In one of my buildings, we wrapped up this fun project by creating a tissue paper water lilly to put up with our paintings. It put a smile on my face listening to the reaction of the other students as they came down the hall to lunch or to the Art Room. One 5th grader said, "Those are great - are we going to do them?"

Stenciled Watercolors Tutorial At the suggestion of a friend, I am posting a tutorial on how to make a nice watercolor painting using plastic stencils! It really is quite a simple process and you end up with something that looks professional. I love sharing these little secrets with people. It's fun! So here is what you need to get started... Materials: watercolor paints paintbrush plastic stencils (I found some cheap ones at the dollar store) watercolor paper Step 1: Pick out the stencil you want to use and place it on top of your paper. Step 2: Hold the stencil down tightly with one hand. Step 3: To give it a varied look, add several different colors in random areas of the stencil. Step 4: Fill in the entire area of the stencil and ever so carefully lift the stencil away from the paper. Step 5: Let your painting dry completely and there you have it... your own mini artwork! Tips and Tricks:If you notice that your watercolors are bleeding around the edges of the stencil you can try mixing less water with the paints.

Lay your paper on a stiff board of some kind and tape it down with masking tape. Step 3: Draw the center of your design. Locate the center of the paper and lightly draw the center of your design.
