4. Volunteer Guiding Principles • We have 6 art lessons and one Art to Remember fundraiser creation lesson over the course of the year (Fourth grade will have 5 lessons) • Grade Level Coordinators will organize a practice session before each art lesson. Make every effort to attend as you will be able to plan for your delivery, share ideas and create the art project before getting up in front of the kids • Supplies for each art lesson will be in a bin by grade level. Please pick up the bin from the workroom before going to the classroom to deliver your lesson. Please return the bin in the same condition for the next class. If you are running low on supplies, restock from the cabinets. If the cabinets are running low, please contact Angie Luther. • Schedule your class sessions ahead of time with your teacher • Do not overlap conducts during the same time as any other art sessions at your grade level and make every effort to not overlap with other grade levels • Lesson schedules will be maintained on a Fulton Art Masterpiece Calendar located at http://www.localendar.com/public/fultonartcalendar. Updates should be submitted to your Grade Level coordinator. Be sure to block 1 ½ hours (15 minute setup/cleanup at the beginning/end)

5. Volunteer Guiding Principles • Be sure to display the art work outside the teachers room after each lesson is completed - preferably on the bulletin board but the brick walls work as well. • All art lesson creations are to be kept in a student “portfolio” in the teacher’s room after they come down from the walls. Portfolio’s will have covers which highlight the artists covered during the year. You should create the portfolio’s prior to the first art lesson. • One art lesson per class will be displayed in the main hallway during the months of March and April. You will be notified which lesson from each class will be displayed during the Art Walk. This will ensure we have a wide variety of displays and also help you prepare for the yearend presentation. For example, some artwork is made into a single masterpiece which you will want to save. • Classroom code of conduct • Let the students do a lot of the talking. This is as much about them using their imagination and inquisitive minds as it is about them learning facts about artists and artwork. • Please do not bring candy or treats to the classroom as we don’t want any students to feel left out.

6. Art Flow Map ART MASTERPIECE Can also use other thinking maps like “Bubble Maps”. See Fulton Website – Curriculum for more ideas

7. Review of Art Masterpiece Website • All materials you will need are located on the Fulton Art Masterpiece Website. Printouts of all materials are also located in a grade level binder in the work room • The materials are organized into 7 sections • About Art Masterpiece • Volunteers • Art I Facts • Key Dates and Class Lesson Schedule • Artists and Projects • Lesson Plans • Annual Events

8. Displaying Artwork • Each art lesson should be displayed in the hallway near the teacher’s room • Create a “board” that can be used throughout the year • Coordinate with your teacher where the artwork should be displayed (using his/her bulletin board or on the brick walls) • Hang the artwork from decorated clothes pins (using fun pictures, pictures of the students, etc.) Remember to include a minimum of the child’s first name and last initial • One of your art lessons will need to be displayed in the main hallway for Art Walk (to be created by student led conferences on March 8)

11. Portfolios • You will need to create a Portfolio for each student to store their artwork and delivery back to the students at the end of the school year • Portfolios will be made out of butcher paper • This year we will create cover sheets for the portfolios (samples on next slide) • You should create the portfolios prior to your first non-fundraiser lesson • After the artwork is removed from the display, you should put the artwork in the respective student’s portfolio and store the portfolios in the classroom • Make sure the teachers do not send the portfolios home until you have confirmed all artwork and letter to the parents is in the portfolios
