Art Surrounds Us (Outdoor Learning Space) #ArtSurroundsUs

The project ART SURROUNDS US  will allow students time and space to integrate nature with the arts.  Art Surrounds Us will allow our children to work with environmental artist, Deborah Landry, to create mosaic designs to be installed on outdoor benches as part of an outdoor learning theater. This project will open up a whole new learning and performing space for our students and staff as well as providing a wonderful venue for outdoor theater and music performances within our community. It is our greatest wish to provide a place where our primarily inner city population can connect with the beauty in our natural environment. As always we hope to allow community members a chance to work alongside our students to model and support all children as lifelong learners. Pine Fine Arts Elementary is fortunate to be in the middle of a lovely thriving woodland area. This location is currently under-utilized in our teaching and this Outdoor Learning Theater project is an attempt to encourage and build upon this amazing resource in our very own backyard. In addition to our students and staff having direct input into the curricular designs that will literally be on our seating area, students and staff will also be directly benefiting all future students and community members who will come to utilize this unique outdoor learning theater.  Collaborative Drawing of Students Sketches
