Dear Parent/Guardian,
I am thrilled to have your child enrolled in my visual arts class this term. I am looking forward to engaging with them in the classroom to help create a enjoyable learning environment that will allow your child to grow in many ways.
Arts education is crucial during this time in your child’s life as it can foster creativity and affect their upcoming career choices. Arts education not only plays a vital role in your child’s growth and development, but is also key in the lives of the school and community. During this time in your student’s life, a classroom that allows them to express themselves on paper and in discussion can give them the control and stability that they may feel is missing from other aspects of their lives. For these reasons, I make it my personal mission to maintain an environment that is not only engaging and fun, but allows for students to build confidence and skill. This will allow your child to take pride and pleasure in their work while enjoying a supportive and safe environment.
During the term, students will create several pieces of artwork which have the chance to be exhibited in many different shows throughout the year, including the State Fair, the South Carolina Youth Art Month Celebration, the Art of Healing competition, the National Scholastic Arts competition, the school art show, and the district art exhibition. I encourage your student to work hard and strive for the chance to show their work to their peers and compete for recognition.
I request that you and your student review the safety rules, class information, and expectations before the start of the term. I also request that you sign and return the attached form, affirming that you read the materials and understand the rules and expectations. Without this signature, your child will not be able to access materials and equipment necessary for participation in class.
I look forward to working closely with your child during this new and exciting term.
Sincerely,
Kaitlyn A. Borders
