Armita Motallebi
Elementary Art Teacher

Welcome back to Cloverleaf! 

I am very excited about this school year! This is my  6th year at Cloverleaf this year and am excited to be part of a great community! We have many exciting projects planned for the school year.

A little about me...

My name is Armita Motallebi. I was born in Chicago and moved to Colorado 24 years ago. I have been married for 24 years. I have a son who will be a senior at Mountain Vista High School and a daughter who is a sophomore  starting college.

Art has always been my passion since elementary school, and I have dedicated my professional career to Art and Teaching. I have taught for the past 25 years in various roles: Pre-K through elementary grades as a classroom teacher, Art teacher, Director of BASE program, Kindergarten enrichment teacher,  group leader, Assistant Teacher, and substitute. My hobbies and interests include Face Painting/teaching art classes on the weekends/weekdays/summers. On the days I am not working at Cloverleaf, I enjoy spending time with my family attending their volleyball tournaments and family functions. 

We will be exploring: 

• The Elements of Art and Principles of Design (why they are important and how they are used in art)

• We will focus on each element in detail with a project for each element and how they relate to the state standards

•  A famous artist- Inspired lesson plans related to the artists

•  Students will be critiquing each other's work for feedback, and using sketchbooks for reflection/plan/drawings 

•  We will explore all mediums such as watercolor, colored pencils, oil pastels, and more! 

•  Look out for the Art Newsletter with updates!

I look forward to getting to know each student's artistic side and am very excited to see all the new faces and all the returning students!
