Show Transcript

this evening were visiting with Joe free who is setting up for the semi-annual middle school art show at the Caldwell Public Library I was trying back when you first started to display Student Art that you had decided that you'd come together with the archetype from Jefferson and decided this would be one way to highlight what students are learn more happens in school than just social studies science math and reading yeah we will first of all Fiona and Ellie here at the Caldwell Public Library reached out to us and asked us if we'd like to put on a show and we said sure cuz there any opportunity to show off the kids work is outside the school we always do it inside the school that we get a chance to do it outside the school and so we said sure and they loved it and we loved it and it's a lot of work that it's I would I have to I would agree with that and I've been able to come for well a couple different times through the couple years and just the enthusiasm of the students and their their parents and their work is there they have chosen their quality display yeah we ask them to choose the work that they think they would be most proud of them to the display and we make every kid to play at least one but they can do as many as they want they can submit as many as they want and we'll show it if we have space for it then and I think it just speaks to Caldwell's purpose of the all students are literate and literacy comes in many forms it's more than just reading it's it's also artistic try to make sure that within our content area that they're articulate using the language to explain that what they've expressed in their art as well to a middle school student why would a public being able to display their art in a public setting like this be so important to their education so sometimes students don't realize that they're really doing a good job they think it's okay or it's not very good at it all I'm so it's really important to kind of show the community are artwork and it's so fun to see them come in and hear our everybody talk about how good their artwork is and it really gives a self-esteem boost for them yeah we were given objects and where supposed to like Java Man with charcoal and I didn't want to do color but she made me but I really like to kiss it I like all the shooting and stuff and I like all the color details the painting of a minotaur and I'm cuz we were doing reference paintings which there there's a couple here like that one or like that one and but mine's of a minotaur and I think I think it was pretty accurate to the picture that I was using Jennifer Thomas how art is a gateway into learning about other cultures the curriculum brought mean a student's experience with just what the world is like for them we take my students learn about specific artist throughout history and I guess I do the famous artist you know like the Frida or DaVinci or kind but also I like to incorporate local artists and our culture here and Caldwell area to include it so if you look behind us you'll notice some different art works from different culture celebrations which is kind of nice and I really enjoy it because it kind of has creates a connection between school art and the community
