    The Art Infusion Program at Glencoe

    The Art Infusion Program at Glencoe Elementary School was created in January 2001 by parent volunteers who were committed to providing more visual arts for the classroom.

    Based on a program developed for Sunset Elementary School in Wilsonville by Lee Ogle, an art consultant at 国产真实迷奸 State University, Glencoe parents attend training sessions where they are guided through a series of lessons and produce their own artwork. After their training, parents are able to go into the classrooms and teach the lesson. These art lessons are thematic and are based either on subjects such as World Art or famous artists and use a wide variety art mediums.
