Art Adventure
Co-Chairs: Bethany Hopman & Jennifer Hanson
Contact Here: PTOArtAdventureBCE@gmail.com
Art Adventure requires 8 to 10 volunteers at each event.
Time of Year: January - March
Art Adventure is an education-enhancing program for our First and Second graders. Working with the Minneapolis Institute of Art (MIA), our students delve into art and other cultures. Students learn about each piece of art within the learning set from a “Picture Person” who will visit their classrooms. “Picture People” are asked to attend a training session through MIA which provides key ideas to bring back to the classrooms. For Second graders, the lessons culminate with a trip to the museum in the spring. Art Adventure programming works in cooperation with homeroom teacher learning plans.
