Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.

Meet The Masters
- is a volunteer Art History and Art Appreciation program intended to acquaint children with the world of art.
- seeks to cultivate a sustained awareness and interest in art by exposing children to selected prints (approved by Broward School Board).
- is run and done by parent volunteers who have an interest and enthusiasm for bringing fine art to the young.
- promotes an awareness of arts in our community. Through the increased activity and interest of volunteers, parents, faculty members and administrators, knowledge of the arts will be expanded.
Example Projects by Grade Level
Meet the Masters Manual
Once a month volunteers schedule a time with their teacher to come into the classroom and make presentations on the lives and works of master artists, followed by an art project of the students own creation. Using reproductions of the artists’ works, these presentations last about one hour. Materials are provided for the presentations.
