My Students

In my classroom lots of student-centered learning and movement takes place. We start each class with our 'Quick Draw' activity in our sketchbooks and end each class playing 'The Smartest Artist' while being quizzed about what we learned today! We love to collaborate and talk about our art!

My students all come from diverse backgrounds and homes, each bring their own ideas to the classroom.

About 50% of our schools population is Hispanic-American, a couple classes having only a few English speaking students. Everyone loves their art class because language doesn't matter, we are all there to let our imaginations run wild. My school is wonderfully supportive of all of our students and their various interests. I would say that the teamwork between the staff definitely influences the students attitudes positively.

My Project

My students will use their drawing boards and materials to be able to take their artworks to various parts of the building and outside! The drawing boards will last for years to come, allowing several years of students the same opportunity! In the classroom we will practice our drawing skills while learning about texture, contrast, value and still-lifes. They will learn how to work with a new material, charcoal, but will also further learn how to properly treat supplies. In the end, we will make a wonderfully glorious mess and clean it up!

The donations will improve my students lives by helping them understand how many great artworks were made through observation and practice.

It will also allow many of my students the ability to use a material they may never have had or would have access to, thus opening their eyes to new ideas; giving them one more opportunity to fall in love with their ability to create beautiful artwork with their hands.
