Dear Parents,
On behalf of the arts program here at (insert school name here) we are so thrilled to have your child enrolled in our visual arts course. I'm looking forward to working one on one with your students, helping them reach their full artistic potential. Throughout this year (or semester), students will be challenged and put outside of their comfort zone by creating works of art they never imagined they could create.
This class will be more than just an art class. This class will teach your child how to think creatively, to be innovative, and will help your child to grow and develop not just artistically, but also as an individual. Arts education is a very important element of your child's education. Art gives students a creative outlet and a stress relief. Art gives your child the opportunity to become an active member in our school community.
Their are a variety of art courses that your child can enroll in while they are here at (insert school name here). All students will first take the Art 1 course, which is an introductory course to the visual arts. In this course they will learn about art history, art theory, and art concepts. They will learn the basic techniques that incorporate drawing, painting, , 3D, and mixed media. After they have completed the Art 1 course, students are welcome to take any of the other higher level art courses that we teach. These intermediate courses consist of : Photography, Ceramics, Printmaking, Painting, Film Arts, and Sculpture. For students that wish to further their artistic talents and abilities can take an Advanced art class or AP art class where students can focus on their own art concentration of their choosing. Students that wish to take an AP art class will need to turn in a portfolio of their artwork based on what they would like to concentrate in and students portfolio's will be reviewed and approved by the art faculty.
Students will be the main artists of our school and the walls will be their canvases. They will be involved in creating murals and running art events to provide funding for our art program and also for local charities and non-profit organizations in our community. It is important for students to be active members and volunteers, helping people who are in need. Your child will learn the importance of healing through art and making a difference through art.
In addition, your child will have several different opportunities to showcase their artwork in different art competitions, contests, and showcases throughout the year. Students will have a chance to be recognized and awarded for their artistic achievements. These recognition's can be put on your child's resume as a volatile and outstanding achievement. This will help give your child gain confidence in themselves and take pride in what they have accomplished.
We are so happy to be a part of cultivating your child's growth and development as a young, ambitious artist and look forward to working with them and also with you.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
The Arts Department
