This year's theme of our JPA art show was some of our favorite books. At Jewish preschool of the arts, art plays a significant role in the education process. We believe that by giving children opportunities for self expression in an open ended way, we are giving them the confidence to reveal their potential and build their identity. These skills play an important role in the learning they do to prepare for Kindergarten, elementary and beyond.
Some of the interesting pieces this year were a spray painted negative space Shabbat Candle painting by the Robins class based on their favorite book: "Is it Shabbos yet?" as well as clay sculptures that were unique in design. Ms. Janet Dake, our art teacher worked alongside the JPA teachers to create art invitations that were open ended and allowed the children's creativity to shine.
Thank you to all our parents who participated in the art auction. The funds collected will go towards our new clay enrichment program for the 2023-2024 school year!
