Artist
in Residence
Artist
in Residence is an artist the PTA sponsors to instruct six art sessions for each
class. The Artist in Residence can be in the field of Theater, Music, or Visual
Arts. Our current Artist in Residence, Cathy Johnson, is a visual artist who teaches
the students a new art technique and artist. The motto of the artist in residence
is "Art for Everyone". The students study artists who are connected
to Louisiana. The fourth grade students attend the first nine weeks, the fifth
grade students attend the second nine weeks, and the sixth grade students work
with the artist the third nine weeks. Written

Fiesta
Art
Fiesta is a day of art for all of Mandeville Middle School. Students attend two
assemblies of local performers. They participate in visual art, theater, dance,
or music instructed by dedicated, talented educators. Local visual artists present
their art to students. Then, students apply similar techniques to their own artwork.
Students participate in a school-wide visual art project. The theme for Art Fiesta
is "Louisiana and Beyone" to introduce students to artists locally and
nationally known who are from Louisiana or have experienced the uniqueness of
Louisiana.

Discipline
Based Arts Education (DBAE)
DBAE
is a program where students explore a classic piece of art and are asked to explore
it, research it, critique it, and produce something original like it from what
was learned from researching the art work. This program involves visual learners,
auditory learners, and kinesthetic learners. The students use all of their senses
while learning. The lessons are created to motivate students and help them apply
what they have learned to academic subject areas. Written
