I <br /> <br /> THE' ~'~'~ ART ENRICHMENT PROGRA~I <br /> <br />~.~_i~-:~7. L~ Sponsored by Cabarrus Arts Council, Inc. <br /> <br /> The Art Enrichment Program has been established for all <br /> classrooms in Cabarrus County. Does your class receive this <br /> invaluable enrichment? Originally designed for the elementary <br /> level, this volunteer-staffed project is also a valuable asset to <br /> middle and high school students, with emphasis on history and <br /> foreign languages. Participating classrooms have biweekly visits <br /> from a volunteer trained to make "looking at art" stimulating and <br /> enjoyable through group discussion.- Verbalization and heightened <br /> perception have proved to be important results of the activity. <br /> <br /> Each grade level is encouraged to locate persons in the community <br /> to staff this project. In seeking volunteers, the following <br /> information should be helpful. <br /> TIME REQUIREMENT: Volunteers contribute an average of <br /> one hour biweekly from October - May, depending on the <br /> schedule of visits they adopt--any ~mount of time is <br /> .most appreciated an~ valuable. Attendance at the monthly <br /> meetings held at the Historic Cabarrus Courthouse is not <br /> mandatory, but can be extremely helpful in broadening the <br /> volunteer's use of the materials provided. These meetings <br /> last between one and one and one-half hours. <br /> <br /> NATURE OF SERVICE: Volunteers serve one set of 3-5 c/ass- <br /> rooms which they visit for 15-min. discussion periods. Two <br /> or three-dimensioDal works of art are shared through a <br /> systematic approach including description, analysis, inter- <br /> pretation, and judgment. Reproductions may be requested to <br /> follow a teacher's lesson plan. <br /> <br /> MEETING DATES: Orientation, October 3, 10:00 a.m. <br /> November 7, 700 Years of Art* <br /> December 5, Pieter Brueghel <br /> January 2, Comparison Study <br /> February 6, Paintings of Great Spanish Masters* <br /> March 6, Francisco Goya <br /> April 3, Backgrounds of Modern Painting* <br /> May l, Winslow ~omer <br /> <br /> 'There are 241 reproductions available for the 1990-91 school <br /> year, all to be ohecked out as librar~ materials, sculpture will <br /> be supplied in a carrying box with appropriate cushion material <br /> and should be handled with great care[ Several carry satchels <br /> are also available for two-dimension reproductions. <br /> <br /> For more information, interested parties may call Chris Cole, <br /> Director of the program, at 782-4492, or the Cabarrus Arts <br /> Council office, 782-6610. <br /> <br /> *Programs provided by the National Gallery of Art <br /> <br /> <br />
