Art Masterpiece
Art Masterpiece in Madison
The Madison Education Foundation (MEF) supports student and educational events and fundraisers to enhance district art programs.
Art Masterpiece is a Signature Program of MEF and the Madison School District.
Volunteers present during teacher selected class periods.
Each presentation includes historic, geographic and cultural relevance, artistic value, unique aspects, art appreciation and a class art project for each artist.
We need volunteers! Please contact your school site coordinator or LeeAnne Spangler for more information!!
History:
Art Masterpiece has been an active and loved program in our district since 1983. We have had thousands of volunteers and tens of thousands of participants spanning generations. Each school has a program that fits its needs and capabilities – 2-6 presentations per class, all year long or just in May. Very flexible!
Currently:
Resources are available digitally and are matched with curriculum. Example: Roman hIstory can coincide with Roman art, Navajo rug design can be studied during Arizona history, IB characteristics focused at IB schools, science conceptual art at STEAM, presentations in Spanish or with Spanish words, etc. All while continuing to foster a joy and appreciation for art.
