WELCOME
THE LESSONS IN THIS BOOK WERE DEVELOPED FOR YOU!
They are the result of two years’ work with and by students (ages 8-15)
in five Montgomery Public Schools: Bellingrath Junior High School, Houston
Hill Microsociety Magnet Junior High School, McIntyre Middle School, Carver
Elementary Arts School and Davis Elementary School. Through a generous grant
from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, Art in the Afternoon classes
were offered weekly after school by the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts from
September 1999 through December 2001. Each lesson, based on art in the
Museum’s permanent collection, offers one method (and certainly not
the only one possible) of interpretation. This book is dedicated to the young
artists, their bright and bold work, and YOU. You can participate too —
by learning and experimenting with new techniques and becoming familiar with
the art in the Museum. Use these lessons as a springboard to your creative
spirit.
