Mr
Frazer's 4th & 5th Grade Class
Point Arena Elementary School
Collage & Poetry Workshop
A joint effort between artist Blake More and teacher Scott Frazer, our Project, "Seeing Our Words, Expressing Ourselves" used collage as an evocative medium to bring forth the written poetry of 4th & 5th grade students at Point Arena Elementary School. When joined, art and poetry make up the blood and bones of creative life. Few things bring as much joy as the engagement of hands and mind in creative expression. We enjoyed inspiring students to reach new levels of creativity while also encouraging them to write, as well as bring the immediacy of real feelings and heart-felt expression into the learning environment. This project was made possible thanks to the generous contribution of the California Arts Council, Gualala Arts In the Schools, and of course, the Arts in the Schools project coordinator Susan Avant. |
