My Students
With a school of over 750 students from kindergarten to 5th grade, I am constantly entertained and surrounded by innocent imagination. My students thoroughly enjoy any chance they get to explore their creative side.
Art is a subject that can be enjoyed by all, regardless of age and skill level.
These students are active learners and are always eager to learn more and do more. They are engaged and always willing to give it their 100% in art class. They are learning that it is not perfection that we seek, instead it is creative exploration and most importantly, to have FUN while doing so.
My Project
Although I stress to my students that there is no such thing as perfection in art class, they still work so hard to achieve it. Unfortunately, in their quest to perfection they often find themselves short of their OWN expectations. Every year I begin our lesson with the "The Dot" by Peter H. Reynolds. It helps me set the tone of my art class. I would love to provide my classroom with more art books, like "The Dot", promoting growth mindset.
My goal is to help my students work through their anxiety of creating art.
Along with books on growth mindset, my students would benefit from having Picasso Tiles. My students all have experience with the typical pencil and paper artwork. However, I would like for them to be more hands on with their creations. These tiles are great for my more active friends. Not only can students create sculptural work, they can create still-life too. This is also a great opportunity for me to do STEAM projects.
With 45-minute classes that I see every 7 days, I want to create a fun learning experience for all my students. These items will allow me to work towards that goal. I hope these items will help them be engaged and confident in their art-making process!
More than a third of students from low‑income households
