Art education students at Calvin College will get a hands-on test on Thursday,
December 5 when almost 60 fifth-grade students from Central Woodlands Elementary
School, part of the Forest Hills school system, visit Calvin.
The fifth-graders will not only visit the Center Art Gallery at Calvin and
watch Calvin professor Anna Greidanus Probes demonstrate how to use a pottery
wheel, they also will make their own clay art projects. Leading them through
the whole experience will be 23 Calvin students who one day hope to be art
teachers themselves.
Calvin art professor JoAnn VanReeuwyk says that Calvin and Central Woodlands
have a long-standing relationship, one that sees Calvin students visit Central
Woodlands during the year to teach an art lesson and then brings the elementary
school students back to Calvin for a taste of college life.
Says Van Reeuwyk: "This visit will give them (the Calvin students) a good
sense of what it takes to teach art!"
The event begins at 1:30 and ends at 3:30 p.m. The Calvin Art Department is
located on the first floor of the Spoelhof Center at Calvin (the main
administration building).
