Hi, my name is Erica Bordonaro and I am your child’s Visual
Arts teacher. This will be my third year here at Wellington Elementary and 25 years teaching Visual Arts to elementary students in Palm Beach County.
I am looking forward to sharing all of the new and fun virtual-style art projects that I have in store for our Wildcat Artists. Students will gain experience the areas of drawing, painting, printing, constructing, weaving, art appreciation, and computer design.
It is my belief that art actually strengthens student learning in each of their core subjects. You can always find integration of math, science, language arts or social studies within every lesson I teach.
Art also gives students a great outlet to create and express themselves in ways they may not have the chance to do in their regular classrooms. Seeing that happen and helping them grow creatively is what I love most about my job.
Together or apart, we always create from the heart. Here’s to another great year with everyone.
