My Students
My students are excited about art! I teach K-5 art at a Title One school in North Carolina. My students are eager to create and learn. I cannot emphasize enough how important art is for my students during this pandemic. Art allows students to express themselves and cope with what they are going through. My class is providing them with a tangible way to process the world around them.
My students' excitement about art is contagious and pushes me to do my best despite the difficult circumstances of our school year!
My Project
Our art room is currently lacking any elementary art books. These books would be a great start to an art library that would serve as an inspiration and starting point for our artists!
I have purposely selected titles that align with our Studio Habits of Mind.
If you are unfamiliar with SHoM, it is a philosophy of teaching art that gives students transferable skills that allow them to be creative thinkers in and outside of the art room. These books will help reinforce the skillset the students are acquiring in art class.
I have also selected some beautiful titles that are representative of our school's population so my kids can relate to the characters they read about.
