Art Masterpiece is a national art enrichment program that uses reproductions of fine works of art to promote art literacy in elementary school age children. It is entirely dependant upon our volunteer "Art Guides" who present lessons planned to support the academic curriculum at each grade level. They last about one hour and include a "hands on" art activity. The purpose is not to teach specific art/craft techniques, but rather to increase the child's awareness of art. Elements of art and principles of design are introduced in fun ways that the children can easily grasp. The volunteer Art Guides do not have to have a background in art. Training is available through Pueblo's Art Masterpiece Committee, certain SUSD school locations, and the Phoenix Art Museum. Training is required.
