My Project

The days of arts education and meaningful extra-curricular activities have diminished greatly in the pursuit of leaving no child behind. As important as that is, there is evidence that art education has a place and plays an important role in the lives and education of students.

I had a student last year that strongly disliked school, himself, and me.

He had an extremely rough start to the year for the first two months of school. I noticed his artistic talent and began purposely providing time for art in my class almost on a daily basis. The connection was made. He became a different student by the end of the year. So not only does art help develop cognition, but also forges connections and social and emotional bonds. It was so amazing to see his transformation.

I would like to hit the ground running by having materials like cardstock, markers and more that I need readily available to ensure that art is part of our class culture from the start. Also, students at my school have a limited play area and so outdoor fun is limited. Art becomes "The Fun" at school for some students and they really look forward to it. I want them to enjoy their time in class and I want them to experience the joy of creativity.
