My Students

My art classes are project-based and student-centered, and the classroom is our studio. Our school is small and unique and our students take on roles as leader, concerned citizens, and in my class they are artists. A big part of my teaching philosophy is to give the student the technical skills necessary to make art but to also allow them to explore and experiment with materials and ideas.

My students are helpful, kind, hardworking and intuitive.

Our main goal is to turn young girls into outstanding young women who are capable of doing anything and everything.

My Project

These paints and supplies with enhance my students learning by getting them to learn how color works: how we can create many variations of color from one hue, how colors relate to other colors when placed side by side, and how to create striking and beautiful color combinations through exploration and experimentation.

I'm hoping that my students see color in a new way and learn to appreciate all colors through this project.

We will use the color wheel as a tool to learn how to mix a variety of colors, including neutrals, and use all of that knowledge in a painting that they conceptualized.
