My Project

I have the best job in the world! I teach art to 475 students K-5th grades in a title one school. Our school has so many talented artists and we do our best to find unique and engaging projects with our very small budget.

My students are creative, curious and love to experiment with new art techniques to express themselves, expand their artistic ability and build their self confidence.

Printmaking with gelli plates will help my students to understand and experience a new art making process. It will allow them to get a little messy and experiment with new materials all while creating a uniquely personal artwork.
