Working with Visiting Artist, Jamin Carter

Through our work with Des Moines Performing Arts, students in Mrs Campero’s Kindergarten class, Ms Fontanini’s 3rd grade class and Mrs Wilcox’s 5th grade class were able to work with Jamin Carter, a visiting artist, for two days this week.  To view pictures from his visit, please click here. Jamin worked with students on literacy using the arts by studying portraits.  Using portraits, students learned about how to pull details from the images and create logical understanding through inquiry, prediction and inferences.  All of the teachers at Findley were able to observe the work that Jamin Carter did with students and will be making plans to use his strategies within their classroom for the future.  The students really enjoyed their time with Jamin.  To view pictures from his visit, please click here.
