For her first gig as a RACC artist, Christine taught classes at Kelly Elementary School's Summer Arts Camp. Christine has been working at Kelly SUN Community School as an art teacher since January 2005, and she is very excited about being approved by RACC for the summer camp and for future residencies in the schools.

  Duniway Art Committee Plans Workshop

C
hristine Claringbold is also the Chairperson of the PTA's Applied Arts Committee at Duniway Elementary School, which her son attends. The Art Committee is getting ready to host a special workshop to share Duniway's incredible parent-led art program with other public schools in the SE Portland area. Watch this site for more information about this exciting event!

 
  One of the cool lesson plans in the Duniway Art Curriculum is the "Study of Picasso," where kids create an abstract portrait with paint and pastels on newspaper. When Julius Claringbold was in 1st grade, he titled his Picasso piece "Eye Pop," and it was hung at the school's annual Art Show. That's where Christine got the name for her business, Eye Pop Art.
