My Students

Paul Ostergard of Citicorp said, "A broad education in the arts helps give children a better understanding of their world. We need students who are culturally literate as well as math and science literate." My desire is to foster this way of thinking in my classroom.

I have a diverse classroom full of fun, loving fifth graders who enjoy creating art in a variety of ways.

They represent 9 countries, 7 languages and a variety of cultures. At recess I marvel at the singing and dancing from around the world. My students love creating art, on rainy days we create origami animals or make popup cards for our friends and family.

My Project

This project will provide students an opportunity to focus on art exploration using geometric shapes. Students will learn and explore the elements of geometric art, color schemes, and the multifaceted use of the art materials. Most importantly, they will use these art materials to create their own work of art! The students will use the different paint brushes and medias of paint, acrylic and watercolor to create artwork with geometric shapes. The product created by the student will then be displayed in an art show for all the students to enjoy.

The art show will provide the students an opportunity to discuss their work through the use of appropriate art and math vocabulary.

More importantly, this forum will allow each students to display their creativity and to appreciate not just their own work but all artwork!
