For those who have never heard of the Pageant of the Masters, part of the Festival of the Arts, this is a must for you to look into- especially living in California.  Every year, July through August, hundreds of volunteers come together to create LIVE art in Laguna Beach.  As a young girl my grandparents took me to this amazing event and I in turn have brought my kiddos to see it.  Masterpieces from around the world are recreated on stage with real people standing in the place of any person in the piece.  Art ranges from paintings to statues and carvings to famous pieces of jewelry.  For 90 seconds the subjects hold their pose and a narrator and live orchestra provide history and musical background to accompany the art.  It is an amazing event!  If we just lived closer this would be a field trip!!   Please check out Pageant of the Masters  to find out more.

A huge thank you goes out to Mrs. Godtland, who picked up "Where's Warhol?" over the summer and a generous parent who shared this Matisse activity book!  Can't wait to share these!

The art program at Placer Academy is entirely sponsered by our PTO and the earnings from our Beautifully Made Art Show and Auction.  This fall we have the opportunity to not only have an art teacher, but a dedicated art room as well!  It is beyond exciting!  Students will be able to enjoy art class once a week!  We are thrilled to be bringing consistent art curriculum as well as the Core Knowledge art program to our students!
