AccountHorace Mann PTSA is proud to sponsor art education for all students with a robust art program that builds the foundation for success in the visual arts. PTSA funds the purchase of art supplies, training materials, and lessons, as well as many special art programs such as Reflections and the Northwest Art Project.
Our Art Docents bring art instruction to the classroom with volunteer-led lessons in the visual arts. Students are exposed to techniques, mediums, and famous works of art and artists, while developing observational skills, fine-motor skills, and awareness of cultures and the environment.
Horace Mann includes kiln projects in our art program. By fifth grade, students will have experience in the three major clay hand-building techniques – slab, pinching, and coiling. Kiln coordinators work as a team to make sure each student's clay piece goes through the forming, firing, and glazing processes successfully.
Enhancing the PTSA Art Program are special art experiences held throughout the school year:
An annual national cultural arts competition that challenges students to create art inspired by a specific theme.
Presented by the Junior League of Seattle to exhibit themed collections of Northwest art at the school.
Fifth grade students work directly with a local artist during this special workshop.
Each Spring, Horace Mann PTSA puts on Art Night - a celebration of all things art related! This is a chance for parents, students, and the community to see student art projects from the whole year.
Sign up to be the head art docent or an art helper for your student's class.
Help with the scheduling, kiln process, and coordinating with class docents.
Each spring, Art Night is hosted by the PTSA. Help chair or join the committee to ensure this night is fun!
