UrbanFUTURE is new to Jefferson Elementary this year, and we kicked off our Explore! program today with our first guest speaker! Students learned from local artist Stan Chisholm (18andcounting.com), who shared about his experiences as an artist and what it takes to turn a passion for art into a profession.
Since Jefferson is an arts-integrated school, students have had exposure to the arts and were able to ask some great questions...
... and loved learning about how Stan creates art by viewing pictures of his work!
A couple of students who are especially interested in a career in art stayed after to talk to Stan and ask more questions - wow, what an opportunity!
UrbanFUTURE students from Jefferson will be taking a field trip to the City Museum this Friday, where students will be able to see some of Stan's work in person! Stay tuned for a post about the trip next week.
