My Project

What I adore most about my students in the art room is their boundless curiosity, unwavering enthusiasm, and innate creativity. They approach each project with an infectious sense of wonder and determination, constantly surprising me with their unique perspectives and imaginative ideas.

Introducing gelli plates into our art curriculum holds the promise of further igniting their passion for artistic exploration and discovery.

These versatile tools will not only provide students with a tactile and engaging medium to experiment with but also encourage them to embrace spontaneity, playfulness, and creative problem-solving. My goal for this project is to empower students to unleash their creativity, develop their artistic voice, and cultivate a deeper appreciation for the artistic process.

Through guided instruction, collaborative exploration, and individual experimentation, I aim to create an environment where every student feels inspired, supported, and encouraged to explore the limitless possibilities of artistic expression with gelli plates.
