Awarding the Arts, Article by Brandee Thomas of the Times Newspaper, Gainesville, GA.Featured in the Life Section of Monday, August 29th newspaper.
With
the end of August just around the corner, many folks in the art world
are happy to see the picture that’s already been painted for the
upcoming month.
At
a time when many funding for most extras were being carved out of
school budgets nationwide, the U.S. Congress passed a resolution
acknowledging the vital role that arts play in the educational system.
That
acknowledgment came in the shape of the approved House Resolution 275,
which established the week following the second Sunday in September as
the official Arts in Education Week.
"...
Arts education, comprising a rich array of disciplines including dance,
music, theatre, media arts, literature, design, and visual arts, is a
core academic subject and an essential element of a complete and
balanced education for all students," the resolution reads.
The
week this year is officially from Sept. 12-18, but the Quinlan Visual
Arts Center staff are starting the celebration early with an
appreciation day for fine arts educators.
The event is from 4-6 p.m. Thursday at the visual arts center at 514 Green St. NE, Gainesville.

On July 26, 2010, the U.S. House of
Representatives passed a resolution declaring the week following the second
Sunday in September (September 12-18, this year) as Arts In Education
Week. While there are a number of established arts
education-related recognitions already (such as Music in Our Schools Month or
National Dance Week), this is the first congressional resolution to recognize
all the disciplines: music, theater, visual arts, and dance.

COMMUNITY
RALLIES TO GIVE KIDS AN ARTFUL SUMMER
By Carol Attridge
GAINESVILLE, GA. - The
Quinlan Visual Arts Center is alive and well this summer, boiling over in fact
-- admidst these 90+ temperatures -- with the energy and enthusiasm of hundreds
of kids ranging in ages from the first grade to fifth graders and up. One
hundred and eighty-three of these kids are attending Art Camp 2011 on
scholarships, thanks to generous donations and support from the community.
"I'd just be at home", says Alexandria Johnson, 11,
"but here I get to feel special and be my creative self."
The fifth graders were busy last week making masks under the
direction of instructor and Art Camp Director, Fox Gradin. "To be so
crazy," jokes Alexandria,
"Ms. Fox is a really great teacher." Alexandria proudly displayed her 'Princess
Indian', a mask painted bright pink and topped with feathers. "When I look
at my art," she explains with a laugh and then a grimace, "I feel
somewhere between WOW! and PHEW!"
"When I make art," Logan Burson, 11, adds, "I feel
proud to make something that lasts, something I get to keep." His mask,
'Bird Man,' is "half-bird, half-man," he says. Half of the mask is
indeed covered in feathers, "and I made the beak from an ice cream
cup!"
