My Students

I am a Visual Arts Specialist. I teach kindergarten through fifth grade students. My students enjoy being creative and coming weekly to art class. Art class can also be an extension of their learning in historical, societal and cultural contexts as we study art from around the world and across time periods.

Integrating visual arts with literacy, helps to enhance the development of students with different learning styles and multiple intelligences.

It's through projects like these that we can bring the literature to life with hands-on lessons.

My Project

This is a collaborative visual arts and literacy project. While studying Greek Mythology in the regular classroom, students will also learn about Greek art in the art classroom. We will connect literacy and visual arts by creating a Greek vase that tells a story. Students will select a Greek character, explore their characteristics and traits and create a vase that depicts a scene of the character from a studied myth. These materials will provide the students with additional literature resources of Greek myths, history and art, as well as the art materials needed to create their vase.
