My Students

I am a visual arts teacher at a wonderful school that is a kindergarten through second-grade school. My students are sweet, curious, and challenging at times, but there's no place I'd rather be than with my art classes.

My students love to "give back," and we do many community and global projects throughout the year to teach acceptance and kindness, such as blankets for animals at the Humane Society, The Memory Project, and participating in Peace Day.

I have taught art classes for 19 years, 12 years at this school, so I have watched a lot of children grow up. I love every minute of it. Our staff is nurturing, highly qualified, and we care deeply about our students. We have some students receiving free breakfast and lunch, and several are homeless.

I try to find unusual projects and ideas that are different from the average things you see as art projects. My students are amazing and create remarkable masterpieces.

My Project

After students complete their three-dimensional sculptures, they have to be decorated.

If they built a dinosaur, they need to add acrylic paint and then details with metallic markers and oil pastels.

If they made a bird, paint is added and then feathers. It's all part of learning to finish your work and take it to the extreme. Their sculptures are really coming along and they are finding that foil is easy to use and can even be done at home, in case that occurs again. Fresh markers and oil pastels are needed since we have exhausted our supply. Thanks for considering our project.
