Art Alive! At TJE, art is a vital part of our children's education. Our Art Alive! program brings art instruction to every student at Judah. Students receive two art lessons a month which are facilitated by volunteer docents.
The PTA funds our Art room and also pays the salary of our Art Alive! Coordinator.
Our Art Alive! Coordinator creates a year-long curriculum, keeps our Art room organized, manages art supplies, and provides guidance to our volunteer art docents.
Art Alive! complements our state curriculum, to bring a richer understanding of the arts and build skills children will carry into everyday life. Please check out the beautiful creations displayed on class bulletin boards the next time you are on campus!

Art Alive!Curriculum
Our Art Alive! curriculum includes:
Art Vocabulary: All of our art lessons will introduce age and grade appropriate arts vocabulary. As our students move through the year and grades, this vocabulary will be continuously built upon and allow for a broadening of both their written and verbal skills.
Material Use and Proficiency: Lessons also focus on the development of their proficiency with the tools of art. Age appropriate skills involving scissors, pencils, paintbrushes, and other typical art supplies will built upon as well as they go through the grades at TJE.
Being creative: Theodore Judah’s Art Alive! program offers a great exploration of how to be creative and starts students on the path of both learning and expressing themselves artistically.
