Purpose
The primary task of the Arts in Education Committee is to identify enrichment programs designed to enhance the educational experience of Garden City Students. Committee Chairs explore programs across the broad spectrum of the arts to identify those that also contain an educational value.
Exposure to the arts is valuable to learning since it stimulates creativity, curiosity, and awareness of the world around us.
Who
The committee recommends programs to district administrators that they believe will enhance the education of Garden City students. Past programs have included artist/writer workshops to musical, theatrical or dance productions, yoga, STEAM experiences.
Join us for a 3rd Year with The Whitney!
Calling all GC artists! The PTA Arts in Education Committee invites all K-5 art-lovers to join us for a special night of at-home art making with educators from the world-renowned The Whitney museum.
On Monday, March 25, from 7:00-7:45 pm, The Whitney will host a virtual family art-making event exclusively for GC families, bringing the magic of the museum into your home. This 45-minute Zoom experience will be led by an Educator on staff with The Whitney.
Children will be introduced to the art of The Whitney collection artist Ruth Asawa, best known for her wire sculptures. Less commonly known is Asawa’s lifelong passion for drawing, which she described as her “greatest pleasure and the most difficult." Children will use their own art supplies at home to create drawings inspired by the work of this incredible Japanese-American artist.
