BCMS celebrates art with first annual PTA 'Clay
Night'
Release Date: Nov. 13, 2008
A report from BC Art
Supervisor Melanie Painter
On Monday, November 10th, parents were invited to participate in the
1st annual PTA sponsored clay night. The event celebrated the new
renovated art classrooms, kiln room and new kilns. Middle school
parents were invited through the middle school newsletter to come in
and create their own work of art. Middle school art teachers, Susan
Baron, Susy Hokanson and Peter Ruggiero and the district art
supervisor, Melanie Painter, lead the art lesson. Parents created
their own clay leaf bowl that will be fired and ready for pick up on
November 25th. The event also featured a raffle of original pottery
created by local potter, Ulla Sattinger, organized by Bethlehem
Parents as Art Partners.
Parents, administrators and even a few children enjoyed the evening
creating their own work of art. The art department and the PTA was
thrilled to provide this opportunity for parents to participate as
life long learners in art.
