My Students

My students have great potential.

They just need a teacher who believes in them and a community that supports them.

My students are a product of their environment. Many of them never leave their town or experience the things that help shape children into positive, contributing humans. My goal is to give them these life- enriching experiences inside of my classroom. I have broken up fist fights, scrubbed curse words off the walls and desks, and seen great poverty almost daily in my school. I have also seen a student's face light up with pride after seeing their artwork on display. There is no greater reward than building a relationship with a child that furthers them not only in the art room; but in life.

My Project

The students will use these materials to explore cultures and find new ways to express themselves. We sometimes lack the basic supplies to create projects that give the students a sense of pride and accomplishment. It's important to me to provide them with the things that they need to create. This past year we ran out of glue, so it was difficult to add finishing touches to our work, but the students will create with even a scrap bin. My goal is to empower the students through the arts, in previous projects we have gained sketchbooks that they can build to develop their ideas. This year I would like to expose the student to a new form of medium, clay. I think they will enjoy sculpture and it will be a fun experience for everyone to use clay in the art room.
