AFMS 5th Grade Live Art Museum
May

AFMS 5th Grade Live Art Museum

The A-F Middle School 5th graders will be doing a Live Art Museum, with two opportunities to display their work. The first exhibit will be at A-F Middle School on April 24th at 1:30 PM, and the second will be at the Villa Pines Senior Home on May 1st at 10:00 AM.

All students will have a special role, including crew members, art handlers, tour guides, curators, dressed as famous artists and live paintings.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact Sarah Hill at 608-339-4064, ext. 1305. Thank you to everyone for their support and I look forward to sharing this opportunity with the families and the community.

“I am very proud of all their hard work and what they have learned, and I cannot wait for them to showcase their amazing creations. The purpose of our project is to give students a more hands on approach which will be more engaging that will foster a deeper understanding and retention versus just a field trip to a real museum. The project has been a way for students to understand how a museum works, how art is displayed, how art is made, learn about several kinds of art movements, about the artists and understand how to break down a painting using the elements and principles of art. I hope you will join us to view the Live Art Museum.”
— Sarah Hill, A-F Middle School Art Teacher

AFMS 5th Grade Live Art Museum
Apr

AFMS 5th Grade Live Art Museum

The A-F Middle School 5th graders will be doing a Live Art Museum, with two opportunities to display their work. The first exhibit will be at A-F Middle School on April 24th at 1:30 PM, and the second will be at the Villa Pines Senior Home on May 1st at 10:00 AM.

All students will have a special role, including crew members, art handlers, tour guides, curators, dressed as famous artists and live paintings.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact Sarah Hill at 608-339-4064, ext. 1305. Thank you to everyone for their support and I look forward to sharing this opportunity with the families and the community.

“I am very proud of all their hard work and what they have learned, and I cannot wait for them to showcase their amazing creations. The purpose of our project is to give students a more hands on approach which will be more engaging that will foster a deeper understanding and retention versus just a field trip to a real museum. The project has been a way for students to understand how a museum works, how art is displayed, how art is made, learn about several kinds of art movements, about the artists and understand how to break down a painting using the elements and principles of art. I hope you will join us to view the Live Art Museum.”
— Sarah Hill, A-F Middle School Art Teacher
