Calcasieu Parish School Board Comprehensive Annual Financial Report July 1, 2019 - June 30, 2020 3310 Broad Street Lake Charles, LA 70615 COVER ARTWORK: Ella Clooney, Grade 2, Westwood Elementary, Teacher – Melinda Harrell Overview: Each year Calcasieu Parish School Art Department challenges its art teachers to work with students in grades K-12 to study and explore one of the current year’s themed units of study. One of the K-12 ~ 2019-2020 ~ curriculum studies was Toys R Art. Following curriculum presentation and review, teachers were asked to challenge their students to develop their observational skills through drawing still lifes of toys; modification of an existing toy; and by creating or by designing a brand new (original) toy. These works of art were all set to be exhibited March19, 2020, at the Imperial Calcasieu Museum of Lake Charles. On March 13, 2020, we were issued a mandatory stay at home order due to COVID 19… and then came Hurricanes Laura and Delta. Like most school systems we got back to work as soon as we could. In the process of cleaning up, we discovered (damage free) student 2-D art works featuring Toys. The 3- D toys did not fare as well. The museums may have temporarily closed their doors, but our students and teachers can still be showcased. Thanks to our school district for the opportunity and the privilege to shine the light on ART through this publication.
