My Students

"A broad education in the arts helps give children a better understanding of their world…We need students who are culturally literate as well as math and science literate."–Paul Ostergard, Vice President, Citicorp

Our hope is that our art classes will recognize the importance of art in their lives while striving to think creatively, work with motivation and live with integrity.

At our school, we believe in high expectations and don't let our limited resources bring down those expectations.

We work our hardest, no matter what, working toward a common goal as a unit. Our students come from a highly diverse demographic as our school is an intercity suburb charter. As a school of choice, parents realize our high expectations of students, whom we not only educate, but train to be outstanding citizens in their community through programming and community work.

My Project

“Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.”

–Albert Einstein

Our art class is filled with inquisitive minds. As each students stretches his or herself beyond their personal best, they begin to seek more options for their creative brains. Unfortunately, with consumable materials, such as paint, clay, plaster, colored pencils, glue and more, being the priority in a studio art class, quality resource materials tend to get pushed to the bottom of the list.

What our art students need to really awaken their most creative self, is an Art Resource Library filled with:

- 'How to Draw' books for those looking to refine their drawing skills.

-Material Technique books to illustrate how to best use a particular medium.

-Art Theory books to allow them to understand various perspectives.

-Art History books to research information about artists, artworks and art styles through the ages.

Expanding our incomplete Art Resource Library would allow students who finish early with class projects the freedom to delve into some of their artistic interests more deeply. Also, these tangible books would give art students the opportunity to investigate multiple resources at a time where most of their sources come from a computer.
