Welcome Coyotes!


This is the place to find out about the art world in and around Fort Worth especially for the parents, students and friends of Carlson. I will also post links for contests, exhibits, classes and things that might be of interest to art students and their families.

I am always collecting ideas for projects that can be done at home, whether they be art experiences or craft ideas. Because the structure of our school day doesn't allow for as much in depth work as I would enjoy...or the students would enjoy, for that matter...I hope you will try some of the cool ideas I have found. Also, if YOU have cool ideas that you think other students would be interested in, please feel free to send them to me to post here.

Family Fine Arts Night

On May 25th from 6 to 8 p.m., the Carlson community will celebrate the art we create, perform and appreciate. This year's event is being hosted by University Baptist Church, our Adopt-A-School partner.

Carlson performing groups including Drumming Club, Jump Rope Team, 4th grade Recorders, 5th grade individual musicians and grade level choir, 2nd grade singers, Drama Club and many more are scheduled to perform for parents and friends.

Artwork created by Carlson students will be exhibited through out the building. An exhibition of professional photography is being shown as well as creations by Carlson clubs - the Mosaic Club, Art in the Garden, Clay Club and others. Over 400 pieces are expected to be on display!

Students and families will have the opportunity to interact with community artists including bookmaker, Lauren Kolesar-Eatinger and glassblower, Matthew Marchand and others as well as professional musicians.

Everyone is encouraged to contribute to a piece of art that will be permanently installed in the Art Courtyard, through mosaic work. Create and build castles, kazoos and sculpture to take home with you! To commemorate the event, order a Family Fine Arts Night t-shirt that can be decorated/customized at the event.

I hope everyone will come out and take part in this wonderful celebration of our Carlson artistic community!
