Stories from the Storm
Smoczynski, Carol
SchoolArts: The Art Education Magazine for Teachers, v106 n6 p24-25 Feb 2007
For four months, St. Paul's Episcopal School in the Lakeview neighborhood of New Orleans, Louisiana remained closed after Hurricane Katrina ravaged the entire city in August 2005. The storm left St. Paul's campus under nine feet of water for two weeks, destroying many buildings and the entire first floor of the campus. As the only remaining art teacher at St. Paul's, the author began the task of teaching from a cart with very few art supplies. When her students came back, the author was struck by the amazing stories her students insisted upon telling about their various adventures during and after the storm. She thought of introducing the work of artist Marc Chagall, known for his storytelling artistry, to her students. In this article, the author describes an art project she introduced to her students that allowed them to deal with the past and look forward to the future. This project is called "Voyage with Chagall." (Contains 2 online resources.)
