The Bridgman Public Schools Visual, Performing and Applied Arts Web Page

The ARTS at Bridgman Public Schools are basic to our students' education.

By developing skills of critical thinking, problem solving, and engaging in artistic experiences, the ARTS help establish an attitude of life-long learning.

                                                      

Thanks for your support of The Arts!

Celebrate the Arts!

What a great time to celebrate the arts! Spring is just around the corner, and it is Youth Arts Month. Local businesses are displaying Bridgman Elementary students' work. The Krasl Elementary Show will be open until March 14th. The Bridgman Elementary Art Show, which happens here in our building, will be March 15th-19th. Also, the annual art fundraiser will be going home soon. For every art order that is received, the PTO will donate $1 to the art program. All proceeds benefit Bridgman Elementary art students. Another way to support the arts at Bridgman Elementary is by participating in this year's KAN Drive (Keep the Arts Now!). Send in empty cans or bottles. There are collection spots in the lobby and the bus hallway. All money collected will help bring artists to our school. Thank you for your support!

In the art room, fourth grade students have started their weavings. Right now, while students are learning how to weave, their work must remain at school. Third graders will be creating a faux-stained glass piece using warm or cool colors. Meanwhile second graders will making a print collage of their imaginary pet dragon. First grade students are painting a fairy garden scene with watercolor paints, and kindergarten students have been learning about architecture and specific structures such as a flying buttress and columns.

Congratulations!

Please extend a congratulations to kindergarten student Jane Kaspar. She was this year's receipent of a $50 art scholarship at the Krasl Elementary Art Show.
