On Sunday, September 27th, PCHS Art Teacher Tyler Mans commented that, "Teaching virtual art has been quite the experience. Laura (High School Art Teacher Ms. Strand) and I are really looking forward to seeing our students in person again and getting to work".
Although still disappointed about not being able to have their annual art show at the high school this past spring, they did it online. Now the art teachers and students have received the recognition of being selected to have Pine City's program featured in the respected "Minnesota School Board Association Journal", a high-quality, glossy-page publication that is read by school board members, superintendents, and other Minnesota educational policy-makers. Mans and Strand are working on selecting about fifteen samples of student work that will be on various pages throughout the November issue of the "Journal".
Pine City's first stand-alone art class was offered by the late Jack Jasperson during the 1966-67 school year. Art isn't just about production, but also cultural appreciation and connection to other academic subjects. Gradually the secondary program grew to two art teachers, and this year an art specialist has been added at Pine City Elementary. As the process moves forward with regard to this honor, more information will be available through WCMP and the "Pioneer" about perspectives articulated by Mans and Strand about the role of art in our schools and community.
