Note: there is a state law that limits withdrawals. Students attending Texas public colleges can withdraw receive a W from no more than six courses during their undergraduate career. The withdrawal limit applies to first-time college students and follows them until they graduate. Students are encouraged to carefully select courses; contact an advisor or counselor for assistance.

The first lesson tied into the social studies unit on the Civil War, slavery, and African-American heritage. We talked about how little the slaves were able to bring with them when they were taken from their homes in Africa: the clothes on their backs and their storytelling tradition.

Each student illustrated a story in his own life using oil pastels. The second lesson tied into what the children were learning in geometry.

I love the creative process of thinking of ways to link the art and artist to what the students are studying. This curriculum tie-in approach is something I stress with my volunteers. To set up an art appreciation committee for your own parent group, make the committee fairly large. Two to four volunteers per grade level works well.

Our Meet the Masters program introduces students to three to six artists each year. Volunteers simply need to be enthusiastic about art. No experience or special knowledge of art history is required. Fine-art reproductions, lesson plans, and training are all available.

Volunteers are asked to present one or more artists at their grade level. The team of parent volunteers at each grade level works with classroom teachers on scheduling. Lessons are 30 to 60 minutes total: part discussion—the artist, his life and times, the painting, general art concepts—and part hands-on art project. Volunteers prepare a take-home sheet describing the lesson for students. As far as time commitment, volunteers attend a one- to two-hour question-and-answer session for new members.
