My budding artists love hearing stories of eccentric painters! I teach Kindergarten through Grade 5 visual art at a neighborhood public school in a large urban city in Illinois. 96% of my students receive free or reduced lunch. My students are very enthusiastic learners, but they do not have much exposure to the arts in their daily lives. A few years ago, my school is was on watch for being under-performing, but we've worked very hard to turn things around and our students are now scoring very high. A big part of this turnaround is our emphasis on reading and writing in all subjects. I want to increase the role of reading and writing in my art room so I can help foster the importance of literacy to my students as we are creating beautiful artworks.
