OKALOOSA VOLUNTEER ART LESSONS O.V.A.L. Team
OKALOOSA VOLUNTEER ART LESSONS O.V.A.L. Team Handbook Okaloosa District Schools Revised 9/2012 OKALOOSA VOLUNTEER ART LESSONS - OVAL ART OVAL Art began in Okaloosa County in 1988. School District Director of Fine Arts, Dr. Bruce Criswell, modeled OVAL Art after a similar program developed in Brevard County. The original manual will remain available as a download. Many changes have occurred since 1988, not least, the development of the Internet; online resources are plentiful and easy to access. Volunteers to deliver the program, alas, are not; therefore, this update will present a pragmatic and streamlined overview of the program as it has been presented in training over the last several years. All that is required of an OVAL volunteer is an enjoyment of art, and enjoyment of working with elementary age children - that's it! WHAT YOU DO: Each grade, from K - 5, has designated art prints for its program. Volunteers go into the classroom periodically, for about 30 minutes, and present the print chosen for that session. This is an art appreciation program, so offering biographical material about the artist, along with asking questions about the print, will give a good basic lesson. You may augment this with other works by the artist - there are plenty of online resources, as well as inexpensive art book series for children; and of course the library is a prime resource as well. Depending upon the print, you may want to have the class draw a version themselves, using the pencils and crayons they have, and whatever 8.5 x 11 paper the teacher can share (do try to let teachers know IN ADVANCE if the class will be drawing).

To Theo Van Gogh, the Hague, on Or About Friday, 13 July 1883
To Theo van Gogh, The Hague, on or about Friday, 13 July 1883. on or about Friday, 13 July 1883 Metadata Source status: Original manuscript Location: Amsterdam, Van Gogh Museum, inv. nos. b323 V/1962 (sheet 1) and b1036 V/1962 (sheet 2) Date: Vincent asks Theo to send a little extra, because he is already broke as a result of spending money in order to be able to start painting in Scheveningen (l. 49 and ll. 82-85). That places this letter after letter 361 of on or about 11 July 1883, since there he wrote that he wanted to work in Scheveningen. It must also have been written before the coming Sunday, when he is expecting a photographer (l. 79; in letter 363 this photographer indeed turns out to have come). We therefore date the letter on or about Friday, 13 July 1883. Additional: Original [1r:1] Waarde Theo, Voor ik naar Schevening ga wou ik nog even een woordje met U praten. Ik heb t maar eens doorgezet met de Bock dat ik bij hem een pied terre krijg. Misschien zal ik nu & dan bij Blommers eens aangaan ook.1 En dan is mijn plan een tijd lang Schevening geheel & al als hoofdzaak te beschouwen, smorgens er heen te gaan en den dag te blijven, of anders als ik thuis moet zijn dat thuis zijn in t middaguur te stellen als t te warm is en dan savonds er weer heen. Dit zou me nieuwe idees geven vertrouw ik, en rust, niet door stilzitten maar door verandering van omgeving en bezigheid.

New Trier Scobol Solo 2013 Round 12
New Trier Scobol Solo 2013 PORTA Round 12 NIGRA 1. Artemis was tricked into shooting an arrow at one of this deity’s children. This deity and Apollo were forced to construct a wall for Laomedon around the city of Troy, and he seduced Demeter to father the immortal horse Arion. Out of anger towards Minos, this father of Orion caused Pasiphaë [puh-SIH-fuh-ee] to fall in love with a bull. Odysseus blinded this deity’s son Polyphemus. This deity lost the patronage of Athens by a single vote and fathered the merman Triton with his wife Amphitrite [AM-fee-TRY-tee]. Horses were sometimes sacrificed to this god, who could create earthquakes. Name this trident-wielding Greek god of the sea. Answer: Poseidon [accept Orion before “children”; do not accept “Neptune”] 2. Several pictures by this artist used Adrianus Jacobus Zuyderland as a model, including a work showing him dressed all in blue sitting in a chair with his head in his hands. In addition to that work, sometimes called Sorrowing Old Man and sometimes At Eternity’s Gate, this artist painted a man leaning on his right hand with a foxglove plant in front of him. This artist also showed a poor family eating around a table with a small lamp hanging above. In addition to Portrait of Dr. Gachet and The Potato Eaters, this artist painted Starry Night. Name this artist who cut off part of his left ear. Answer: Vincent (Willem) van Gogh 3. In July 2013, Colombia became the first country to eliminate transmission of onchocerciasis [AHN-kuh-sur-SY-uh-siss], the most common parasitic disease of this organ.
