My Students
As a teacher in a diverse school district, my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, I am constantly looking for different artistic ways to provide my students with creative and meaningful learning experiences.
My students are creative, clever and open-minded.
Our school is socially and culturally diverse, which makes for a great global learning experience. We are an accredited International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme World School, we provide Dual Language classes to those whose primary language is not English, and are the district appointed School for the Deaf. Even with that much going for us, we need your help so we can soar to even greater heights
My Project
Having drawing boards and mannequins in the classroom will make a difference in my students' learning. Some students do not discover their interest in the arts until they take a course in middle school. Currently, we lack the supplies in order for our students to draw from a different perspective.
In order for our students to be exposed to different mediums and styles, we must first give them the opportunity to break from the table and draw in different angles and capture various perspectives.
With a drawing board, students will be able to leave their table and/or chair and become comfortable in their space or get up and close with their subject matter. Students will also be able to explore and draw the human figure using the mannequins. Using these supplies, students will be able to learn, create, and understand the importance of art. These supplies will be used every day of the upcoming school year.
