Art Exploration!

Help me give my students an opportunity to explore artistic experiences! The biggest part of exploring art is the clean up which is why I have requested automatic soap dispensers, and quality materials such as books and paper.

My Students

I love the Montessori method and recently made the choice to teach in a public Montessori school in an effort to provide care, love, and high-quality education to children who may not have the opportunity to experience this either with their guardians or in a different setting. I have 27 children this year. Each child has such character and potential. My classroom has mixed ages from 3-6 years old. Each child is able to learn and explore from each other in a safe and loving environment. We endeavor to make sure each child has what they need including care, food, clothing, and opportunities to learn and explore.

In our Montessori classroom we work together to teach and learn from each other not only reading and writing but also compassion and care for others.

Help me provide my students with what they need to thrive.

My Project

Art expression is one of the best ways to learn about yourself and experience different mediums! The children will be guided through the various methods of using both liquid water color and solid. Working with paint brushes also strengthens fine motor muscles and skills which is preparation for writing.

Providing quality materials allows the children a unique and real experience.

Water color is a wonderful medium for children to explore colors, shapes, and brushwork. Quality paper is costly; however, giving a child the experience to explore and create is priceless.
