Helping Your Child Succeed in Art
Parents are the first and most important teachers in their child’s life. What is done at home impacts a child’s success at school. This is true not only for reading, math, science, and social studies but for the arts as well.
Here are some tips for helping your child succeed:
Monitor your child’s grades in PowerSchool.
Ask your child what they are doing and learning about in art class.
Make sure your child attends art class regularly. If your child misses an art class, he or she misses a significant amount of instruction.
Please encourage your child always to give their best effort and participate during class.
Encourage your child to pay attention in class.
Create and discuss art at home.
Visit art related events with your child.
