FRISCO ISD ARTS IN THE SQUARE
EMPTY BOWLS
by the 5th Grade Creative Crew @ ELLIOTT

Nearly 1,000 clay bowls handmade by FISD art students will be on display at this years AITS. The bowls will be available to take home in exchange for a donation to Frisco Family Services. The effort is part of a larger movement called Empty Bowls. Each bowl is meant to serve as a reminder of all the empty bowls in the world and the need to fight against hunger.

Congratulations Alexis!!!!  Library Card art contest winner!!
One of the joys of teaching art is helping students understand that art is about showing people the way YOU see things.  Also, ideas come from the inside and outside as we make connections to what we love, know and to the world around us.  It's imperative that the way art is taught honors each child's need and desire to be creative.  Every school should have a highly qualified and skilled art teacher to ensure ART is actually being taught in its intended form promoting artistic thinking, processes and creative problem solving. Yes art is part of the curriculum--BE VISUAL
