Art Smart is a Rosa Parks PTSA-sponsored program that exposes our students to various artists, styles, techniques, and art movements. This program provides a creative opportunity for our students to make their own works of art inspired by those lessons. Each month a group of parent volunteers lead a prepared art lesson (you won’t be alone and the curriculum already exists!)
