Welcome to the 2023-2024 school year!

My teaching philosophy is about learning while having fun through play and discovery. Art classes are not just about teaching students art, but also about helping them become responsible young adults and confident and caring citizens. I will acquaint your children with various well-known artists, as well as contemporary artists from a culturally sensitive perspective. I will also be integrating literacy, math, history and science into my art lessons as much as possible. Each art lesson will focus on one or more of the basic art elements, which are: line, shape, form, color, value, texture, and space. I have planned projects incorporating painting, drawing, collage, weaving, printmaking, jewelry, sculpture, and ceramics, keeping in mind each grade’s developmental needs. 

I teach according to the National Core Arts Standards.  The four areas we focus on are creating, presenting, responding, and connecting.  You can find more information by going to the site listed below.  Please, let me know if you ever have any questions about art class, or would like additional ways to support your student.
