In my art room, students will learn a variety of art media, while focusing on fundamental techniques that will improve their overall skills, and build their artistic confidence. While the focus will be on materials and techniques, I will use personal choice, art history, classical techniques, contemporary art, pop culture, street art, and more to give each of my students a personal and cultural connection to art. These connections will inspire and fuel their own art-making processes. I want my students to feel confident expressing themselves through art, so the art they make is both beautiful and meaningful. I hope students leave my class with a new appreciation for all things creative, and a curiosity for the arts. I hope they have a newfound joy in discovering art, and talking about art. Lastly, I hope they develop the ability to see the the world in a new way...with creative eyes.
