My Project

This year, my students have been enjoying returning back to a normal school year after having their school learning disrupted these past few years due to COVID-19. This school year, in addition to our 4 core subjects (ELA, Math, Science, SS) we have been able to offer our students a resource day every 8 school days. All students participate in 6 different resources classes throughout the day. Art is one of the resource classes that all of our students participate in.

Art is one of the key ways that many students who do not do well academically are able to show their talents, express their feelings and feel good about themselves.

Hands-on activities are the most engaging and fun way to learn. Many students who are not good at academics shine through their artwork.

One of my first art projects is to have my students design a folder to keep their art projects in. I have different themes for each grade level. Seeing how each student interprets the theme in their own way is aways exciting. I have been relying on each homeroomʻs teacher to help me provide the folders for their students, but I would like to help my colleagues out by providing the folders myself.

Ensuring that each student has the right paper for their other art projects, and giving them an opportunity to use special art supplies like paint pens, oil pastels and liquid watercolors will surely excite my students and I can't wait to see what they will produce!

I believe hands-on art activities will excite, inspire, and motivate all of my students to succeed and feel good about themselves no matter what their socioeconomic background may be.
