Dear Parents and Students,
Welcome to a new school year at Fontainebleau Jr. High! I hope you enjoyed
your summer vacation and are ready to begin a whole new experience in
Talented Art!
I would like to take a few moments to introduce myself, and welcome
our new students. My name is Eric Danby and I will be the Talented Art
teacher at Fontainebleau Jr. High, Lee Road Jr. High, and Covington Pathways
for the 2009/10 school year. I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Southeastern
Louisiana University, with a concentration in sculpture. As an art educator,
I value my job and the wonderful opportunity that I will have to share my
knowledge with your child. Student success in my classroom is my number one
priority.
The Talented Art Program is a challenging and thrilling experience
that is designed specifically to compliment each student’s creativity and
skill level. I will ask my students to not only increase his/her knowledge
and skills, but to also independently demonstrate problem solving to tackle
their personal weak spots in Art, Art History, and Critique. Your child will
be working with a wide variety of media this year, including, but not limited
too, drawing, painting, printmaking, ceramics, sculpture and mural art.
We will be competing in local contests as well as looking for areas to
volunteer in the community.
Each student will be taken out of two classes once a week for Talented Art.
(This is usually P.E. and an elective class). They will begin coming to
Talented Art Monday August 17th; an individual schedule for each student has
been sent home as of Wednesday August 12th.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at 985-875-7501 or
eric.danby@stpsb.org.
Sincerely,
Eric Danby, TAP Teacher
