My Students
My students are a highly mobile population made up of low-income students and families from a nearby military base. They thrive with a balanced approach of high expectations and positive reinforcement, especially as quite a few of my students will attend several schools in the elementary years alone. Many of my students struggle in the classroom, but have success in specialized classes like music and art. I strive to make my art room a space that is creative yet disciplined, structured yet welcoming - a safe space for everyone.
My Project
My mission as an art teacher is to show my students that art, like all things in life, is a process. It takes creativity, discipline and perseverance to make a product that one can take pride in. These life skills will benefit my students far beyond art.
My students need weaving tools like looms, canvas circles, and needles to build patience, fine motor skills, discipline and cooperation.
Weaving is a universal craft that give me the opportunity to teach about many cultures as well as make fun stuff with my students. I hope to create several cooperative tapestries with the large looms in hopes that it will "weave us together" as a community!
