Deerfield - Hanlon Art
Hello! I'm Mrs. Miller. I am the K-5 Art Teacher at the Deerfield Elementary School, and Paul Hanlon Elementary School in Westwood, Massachusetts.
On this sight are some links to our curriculum, resources to lessons, and links to choice time art websites.
I will be using Seesaw to share and communicate with families about whats happening in the art classroom! Seesaw will provide a digital portfolio of your child's experience in art class.
Curriculum
The Westwood Art Department provides an environment in which students develop the capacity to create, respond and communicate through the unique language of the visual arts. In an increasingly interconnected and visual world, through their study of the arts, our students enrich their personal experience and become more imaginative thinkers and inventive problem solvers.
Create
- Engage in the creative problem solving process
- Experiment and take risks
- Develop craft and technique with increasing proficiency
- Express something original as an individual or collaborator
Respond
- Observe and analyze with a critical eye
- Critique one's own work and the work of others.
- Recognize and appreciate diverse approaches to art - historical, cultural and stylistic
Communicate
- Convey ideas and feelings through the elements and principles of art
- Discuss or articulate one's intention and choices as an artist
- Share one's artwork with the community
We invite all of our community members - both within the school and in the larger community - to experience the richness of the arts as active, engaged viewers.
