Utah students painted these colorful panels through an outreach program sponsored by Utah Festival Opera. The soothing pastel colored panels provided a background where students could paint art that inspired them and helped them find healing through self-expression. Students painted their dreams and even wrote poetry about their art. These panels were put together in a large travling display. Thanks for Pamela Gee and Utah Festival Opera.

We put several colors of liquid watercolor to create a root ball and then we pulled the color to create tress that have a unified root system. This was a beautiful way to explore color mixing in a creative and fun way. This lesson is good for all ages of students from elementary to adult.

I showed the work of Mark Rothko and Sonja Delaunay to my classes and we looked at the abstract nature of colors and how colors make us feel. There are many resources to help students discover the emotional aspects of color. Try to ask open-ended questions instead of automatically assigning an emotion to a color. Everyone experiences colors differently. In the movie Inside Out 2, each character has a specific color that ties into some of that color's social and emotional aspects. This might be a springboard to a fun discussion.

I like to brainstorm attributes of each color and write ideas on the board. You could also break the class into groups and assign each group a different color to research and talk about.

Greetings Everyone,


You are the greatest advocate for Art Education in your area! 

Please join us for the 2025 Youth Art Month Celebration!

Also, join the Utah Art Education Association and educational leaders and teachers in the state by endorsing the Utah Youth Art Month Proclamation below. Show your support by encouraging your colleagues in the district to include art activities during the month of March.


As members of the UAEA board and the Utah Youth Art month committee, we are compiling the names of the leaders and teachers who support the Utah Proclamation for Youth Art Month.  


Governor Cox has also declared March as Youth Art Month for Utah to recognize the importance of art education. Art opportunities develop children’s artistic abilities and appreciation for the arts and crucial life and work skills, including communication, collaboration, and critical thinking. Research has shown that integrating art into instruction can increase engagement and drawing can help students learn more effectively! Drawing Is the Fastest, Most Effective Way to Learn, According to New Research 


  • Encourage every teacher, in all subjects, to incorporate Art activities in their curriculum. 

  • Forward this email which includes Youth Art Month Document 2025 flier with ideas to all of the teachers in your district.


We know that you are very busy, and we appreciate your help in getting the word out to the teachers in your district and adding your endorsement for the proclamation below.

Thank you for helping us build support for Art in Utah,

  

Elizabeth Sampson - Utah Yam Chairperson       Kristy Carter - Utah Yam Co-Chairperson
