Each student here brings a smile and their best each day. When they walk through my door, they are excited to be here! There is no wrong or right in my classroom, just experiences that are new.
Whether making art or tinkering in design class, my students are innovative, fundamentally creative, and ready to try new things.
Tradition runs deep here. My art students are from a rural, mountainous area. We are a small, community school of 280 that has taught the parents and grandparents of our students. Legacies mean people feel strongly about our school.
My Project
Middle school students loooove Sharpies. Shhh, I do too! The vividly colored markers will add depth and pops of colors to the students' work. They will use these markers in their mixed media visual journals and in art inspired by artists like Keith Haring.
What a way to make a colorful mark!
Quality tools make all the difference when creating art. The precision tips Sharpie offers can't compare to other permanent markers. My imaginative art students, who are developing their personal style and symbolism, deserve to use materials that enhance their creativity and allows them to experience media that professional artists use.
