My Project

This year I became the art resource teacher for my entire school! While I have been teaching art this year I have come to notice that these students don't know how to color, don't know how to paint or hold a paint brush, or know basic art terms such as line, shape, etc. But I do know when they come to my class...they love it! They look forward to art time, however, we don't have the much needed supplies for the things I want them to experience! By the time they leave this school...I want them to become creative and artistic and just do the best they can!
