My Project

Letting my students sit in a special area or on a special chair is an incentive. Many of my students need motivation to do their best. Making my classroom fun, clean, and inviting can make their creativity take off. I have found that special seating like wobble chairs and bean bags has a calming effect on my students.

Art is about creating.

Giving students tools to make their lives more beautiful creates a better future for all of us. The students need to be inspired. Fresh paint and different types of paper will show the students the best tools to achieve the effects we are learning. We will be learning many different techniques and mediums of art. It’s my passion to teach the whole child, and learning should be fun and rewarding. Thank you for enhancing the whole experience for my students.
