About Me
It’s gratifying to share my love of art, the universal language, with my students. I enjoy traveling and the students are really interested in seeing and learning about different countries and cultures.
The art program is offered in grades Kindergarten through five in forty-five minute sessions once a week. Our program seeks to provide age-appropriate experiences to meet academic standards and produce educated citizens who will value and support artistic achievements.
Students are introduced to the elements of art: line, shape, color, texture and space. They will use their knowledge of these elements in a variety of art work including drawing, painting, collage, mixed media and sculpture. Children will also be introduced to the care of art supplies and safe art room procedures.
The introduction to the elements of art continues. Artists such as Cassatt, Van Gogh, Renoir and Eric Carle help illustrate and enrich the learning objectives. Students will use their knowledge to paint pictures, make prints, collages, drawings, sculptures and textiles.
Students will continue to explore the elements and artists that demonstrate the learning objectives. Vocabulary takes on more importance. Knowledge of the elements are used in creating a variety of media including drawing, painting, collage, mixed media, print making, sculpture and textiles.
