Welcome, Lily!
We are very excited to welcome Lily Sage to Clementine as this year's Artist In Residence.
Lily has a rich and varied background and we are thrilled she is able to share her time and talents with our school. She is excited to be with us too, and comes to us most recently from The Philadelphia Montessori Charter School where she worked as an assistant teacher while completing her primary certification through the Montessori Institute for Teacher Education in Delaware. Besides her training and experience as Montessori teacher, Lily attended Montessori school as a toddler until she was 12 years old. The most impactful lesson from her Montessori Elementary years was the first “Great Lesson”: the Timeline of Life, which is a component of Dr. Montessori’s Cosmic Education.
In addition to a love of Montessori and non-oppressive forms of imparting knowledge, Lily is passionate about visual and performance art including puppet and mask-making; the rights of all beings to be safe, happy and healthy in symbiotic song/dance; anthropology and cultural exchange; community herbalism, and imparting to wee ones autonomous self-care practices through early introduction to plant allies, consent, meditation, anti-racism, and decolonial compassionate communication. She has traveled extensively and has lived in Mongolia, Costa Rica, and Germany. She is also a practicing doula.
You can find her at Clementine on Wednesday afternoons teaching art or during the week as a substitute teacher. Read more about our art program below:
Art at Clementine
While art is integral in our classrooms and programs, we also offer art enrichment so that children can have even more time to create and explore through artwork. Lily, our Artist in Residence, will be with us Wednesday afternoon in either Casa or Kindergarten and also joining our extended day children. Lily is also creating "art on a tray" that will be available on the shelves in each classroom so that all children can participate in the art projects each week. Here's a little more from Lily about what's happening this week:
The children were presented with 3-part cards to give an impressionistic lesson of the earliest representations of human art. Geoglyphs and petroglyphs from all of the continents are present and that nomenclature is introduced. This work will be available on the shelf for the remainder for the week. Then we will collaborate on a mural inspired by the “Cueva de las Manos” in Argentina—a cave-like painting of all of the children's hands.
