Snow Art

Snow has so many uses! Students in the Pre-K Counts class at LVCC on South Mountain (Allentown) used water color paper and washable markers to create melted art. First, students drew colorful pictures depicting outdoor scenes. Then, they bundled up, stepped outside, and let the snowflakes fall on their pictures. Throughout the day, they watched their drawings melt right before their eyes! Thank you, Mother Nature!

Artist Residency

Preschool children enrolled in LVCC at St. Luke's (Bethlehem) enjoy time with their artist-in-residence, Mr. Bill. This morning, Mr. Bill engaged students in a storytelling exercise.

The artist-in-residence program is designed to bring art and creativity to every area of the classroom. Through the exploration of art and music, children develop language and literacy skills, as well as math, science and social skills.

This project is made possible through the Arts in Education Partnership of the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, a state agency. It is funded by the citizens of Pennsylvania through annual legislative appropriation, and administered locally by the Allentown Art Museum. The Pennsylvania Council on the Arts is supported by the National Endowment for the Arts.

Matching funds for this are provided through a grant from the LEGO Children's Fund.

More photos are available on LVCC's Facebook Page.

We love snow days!

Many commuters and homeowners were frustrated by the fluffy white stuff that blanketed our region this week, but we LOVE snow days! Staff from LVCC at Fowler Center (Bethlehem), top photo, used their parachute as a makeshift sled. And, students at LVCC on South Mountain (Allentown), bottom two photos, discovered fresh animal tracks on their playground!
