DLES is very excited about the new additions we have made to our faculty this year. Ms. Britney Harper is one of them and just as excited to be here! I wanted to share with you the creative way in which she's integrating faith and learning into her art classes. She recently talked with me about her theme verse for the year, Mark 16:15, "Go into all the world and preach the good news..." Her desire is to help her students understand that if we are truly to go into "all the world" then we need to know a little something about the world. So, Ms. Harper has decided to teach art from around the world with all classes, Pre-Kindergarten through Fourth Grade. The first stop on the journey is Mexico, Central America, and South America. The photos being shared in the slideshow are Fourth Grade's, Mexican Metal Tooling. The elements of art and principles of design this unit covers are color and pattern, the two prominent characteristics of Latin American Art. We invite you to come and view the pieces decorating our halls. They are truly stunning!
