EMPTY BOWLS 
SERVICE PROJECT

Art Club students made ceramic bowls for the Empty Bowls Hunger Program sponsored by Lutheran Social Services.  At this event attendees are served a simple meal of soup, bread, fruit and water and are invited to choose a bowl to take home as a keepsake.  Artists made their bowls using the hand build coil method and also cut out forms to enhance the theme such as insects and moon and stars.  Thank you artists, for your time and  talent in making the bowls!  Our Art Smart words were community, awareness, clay, hand-build coil, fire, bisque, and glaze.

About Me

My photo
Michelle "Meche" Farah; I have a BFA in Painting and Illustration and Art History Minor from The Savannah College of Art and Design. Before I discovered a love to teach, I worked in interior design, and film production. My teaching certification is from Jacksonville University. This is my 13th year as a teacher and 4th year at Fort Caroline Middle. I teach Art History and sculpture. I am a professional decorative painting artist and a former board member of NeFAEA- Northeast Florida Art Educators Association. I am an active FAEA- Florida Art Education member and attend state conference every year. I have also attended nationals conference several times. My FAVORITE project is "Recycle-Transformation" which simply means going green and making old items new and appreciated. Our FUTURE is in our hands, I include recycled materials in student projects. In my art program students practice the disciplines of art history, art production, art aesthetics, and art criticism. It is not only important to make and learn about art but how to discuss it and bring value and meaning to it. Thanks for viewing our art blog, we are glad you stopped by!
