Case Studies

Art a la Carte

Students in the National Junior Art Honor Society at Rafer Johnson Junior High assembled a cart and filled it with art supplies. The students decided how to organize and label the supplies and then established a check out system for teachers. Teachers were given an overview of what kinds of art materials were available on the cart and were introduced to the check out system. The staff was very excited to see the variety of supplies and expressed their delight with having more options for projects that require art tools.

Teachers were given an overview of what kinds of art materials were available on the cart and were introduced to the check out system. The staff was very excited to see the variety of supplies and expressed their delight with having more options for projects that require art tools. Many teachers shared thoughts and ideas on how having the supplies readily available would help with their planning, project development, and project execution. Some of the projects included watercolor pictures depicting the water cycle in science classes, cards for teachers in leadership class, and college board projects in AVID. In addition, several clubs on campus have borrowed the cart to create banners and posters. Teachers have expressed great enthusiasm and interest in having this program continue next year.
