Two dozen children in bright aprons carefully drew and painted Cubist-style faces during an after-school art program Oct. 6 at Perrywood Elementary School in Largo.
The school’s Parent Teacher Association partnered with a local artist for the inaugural session of a program at low cost to parents to supplement the school system’s arts instruction.
“We want to get art back in the schools,” said Pam Virgil, the PTA secretary. “We want to teach them art beyond the basic level they’re learning here. We want them to start learning about the history of art.”
Art teachers in Prince George’s County rotate between three or four elementary schools, spending a couple of weeks to a month in each school, said Brenda T. Makle, the visual arts supervisor for the county school system.
