My Students

We seriously have some of the best students in our small-town elementary school. The students are always eager to learn new art techniques and test out their skills with new and engaging materials.

Our students are always ready for new challenges.

Some of the challenges will need to be adapted to the alternative way of delivering art lessons in their classrooms. I

I want to grow as an artists with them! Our school includes over 60% free or reduced-price lunch recipients, but together our community, parents, and staff work to get us everything we need. I am so grateful to have wonderful people like you also partnering with us to help get our students everything they so deserve.

Although this year may look a little different whether in person, online, or a mix of both, I know we'll build our classroom community and become the family we always are. I am a first-year teacher in the Visual Arts department and am looking for new materials the students can use with ease in their homerooms. Students have limited space and access to materials as many classrooms are not set up for creating art soley.

My Project

I am a new teacher and I would like to establish a literacy library full of literature that features art and artists. This is a great opportunity for early finishers to choose an activity that is not only quiet but also rewarding. I have chosen books that highlight the elements and principles or art as well as books about specific artists that we use as inspiration for projects in the classroom. Giving my students an opportunity to continue their art understanding through literature is sure to please and captivate my audience.
