This Is Not Your Parents’ Art Class
Women’s News
Everyone over the age
of 40 remembers art
class as a futile exercise
in trying to copy the
object that the art teacher
posed at the front of the
classroom. This activity
usually happened at the
same desk where all
other classroom studies
took place. For many
people this was the
beginning and the end of
any artistic endeavors
for the rest of their lives.
Enter Mrs. Donna
Lemer in her art room at
Charlotte Jewish Day
School. Students from kinder
garten through fifth grade are
learning art history from cave
painting to cubism; art of Mexico,
Africa, Egypt, and other countries
and cultures; and regional art of
the United States.
CJDS students create art in the style of the masters.
The children are experimenting
with color, line, shape, and tex
ture. They have put the face of a
modem girl on the Mona Lisa.
They have depicted Abraham,
Isaac, Jacob, Aaron, Joseph,
Moses, and David, who are tradi
Gleiberman's
tionally the guests who
visit the sukkah.
They can identify the
styles of Paul Klee, El
Greco, Marc Chagall,
Renoir, Jackson Pollack,
Frank Stella, Hokusai,
Leonardo da Vinci,
Norman Rockwell, and
many others.
It is virtually impossible
to convey the range of sub
jects that Mrs. Lemer cov
ers in her amazing self-
designed art curriculum.
She has an uncanny ability
to integrate science, social
studies, history, and Jewish
studies into creative art activities
that everyone can enjoy. 4*

Hadassah
Kinneret
Circle at the
Lake
The Hadassah Kinneret Circle
at the Lake is having “End Of
Year” meeting and installation of
officers for year 2006 - 2007 on
June 12, 7 PM at Mia Familia in
Cornelius.
By Heidi Rotberg, President,
Charlotte Chapter of Hadassah
The future belongs to those
with the vision to shape it. And
our future is as bright as ever as
we conclude a year filled with
memorable successes. As each
individual member makes a dif
ference, so the combined power
and influence of many is equally
impressive. And it all happened
because of your generosity, your
indomitable spirit and your deter
mination to reach our goals.
Hadassah women in our own
community, and in cities across
the nation, continue in their com
mitment to work toward improv
ing the lives of those who need
our help. We can be proud of our
accomplishments. We’ve pub
lished our 60th annual Hadassah
directory; the Film Festival has
expanded to over one week; and
our programs attract more and
more participants each event.
Here in our community, our
Hadassah volunteers have fos
tered and expanded membership
through community initiatives
such as collecting for the food
pantry, tutoring, reading to chil
dren, and Operation Linus blan
ket-knitting. We have helped to
educate and engage our members
and the larger community with a
wide variety of offerings, such as
DAS
SAH
the monthly Lunch ‘n’ Learn, our
wonderful annual Women’s
Health exhibition, and guest
speakers on such topics as how
Israel is depicted in school text
books.
Without the efforts of so many
of our leaders and members, we
could not have achieved all that
we did this year. In the process,
we have enjoyed the camaraderie
and the friendship of extraordi
nary women, working together to
achieve great things. We are
indebted to all of you who made a
difference - talented women who
make this chapter so special and
so viable - women with the vision
to help us shape the future. To
each of you 1 offer a very person
al and hearty thank you. Todah
rabah.
