Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

As a first-year middle school teacher, I enjoy learning alongside my students and experiencing things from their perspective every single day. Our art program is new to our school this year and unfortunately our classroom materials reflect as much. In my classroom I want students to feel welcome and appreciated, as well as heard and loved. My students come to class every day, excited, full of life, and ready to learn. My classroom is full of eager learners and every day, I am excited for them to teach me something new! My students really enjoy being able to work with each other and combine ideas to accomplish tasks. They are such hard workers! So excited to see how far they go.

My Project

In this unit of Visual Arts we use the elements of Art (Line, Space, Shape, Form, Value, Texture and Color) and principles of Design (Balance, Contrast, Emphasis, Movement, Rhythm, Proportion, Unity, Variety) to analyze art. Art teaches us creativity, problem-solving and analytical-thinking skills. Being in a high-poverty area, it is possible many students will not have access to art supplies like pencils at home. Since food for children will be available for pick up, I'd like to have them be able to pick up pencils and paper as well. During a time when schools are putting safety first and switching to an online atmosphere, creating art becomes a challenge. They love to make art, but we won't have access to our shared supplies we normally use in our classroom. Being able to distribute these supplies will give students the ability to learn the fundamentals of color in the visual arts.
