Mrs. Seickel

I teach art both at Bell and at Barnardsville Elementary and have been teaching art since 2009. I am originally from Florida and went through the public school system there. I attended the University of Central Florida and received a BFA in Film and an MA in Art Education. I have been in the Asheville area since 2017 and love camping and hiking through the mountains with my family!

In my art rooms every week, students will explore the seven elements of art in new and exciting ways! We will create LINEs with our bodies, find SHAPEs in the word around us, and mix COLORs to match our emotions. We will examine TEXTURE, VALUE, FORM, and SPACE, and look to examples in historic and contemporary art as how artists use these elements to communicate their message.

There are 3 great ways you can support art in our school. First stay in touch for details for Square One Art Fundraiser, details usually come home every October. And, second, we will be trying out digital portfolios through Artsonia, which has a fundraising feature. Finally, third,  if you want to give supplies directly you can check out what we need through our wish list link. You can find more information about both of these in the "links" tab.
