My Students

My artists are in grades K-8. I teach the expressive discipline of art to almost the entire school. We are a Title I school with children who are mostly from a low socio-economic background. Most of them have transient living situations and the only safe, welcoming place they have to express their ideas and emotions regularly and creatively is the art room. I try to vary the materials and learning experiences to address and engage all types of learners and keep their natural curiosity heightened.

My Project

I like to get my young artists, especially my 4-8th graders, on field trips where they can experience exciting landscapes, cityscapes, and sometimes museum artifacts to draw. I have them lean on notebooks or some pieces of cardboard when they are doing their sketching. I was able to purchase a few drawing clipboards so that the students can secure 12 x 18 drawing paper when we venture out beyond our classroom and school walls. They love having a fresh vista to draw. Once I took them down to a historic fort on the water to sketch the buildings and a bridge connecting Queens to the Bronx. Some children were amazed to see evidence that they live on an island! Many don’t venture beyond their block or neighborhood unless our school takes them somewhere. Having these smooth drawing boards with clips to secure their paper would be so helpful for drawing in different locations. This order would give me a full class set next time we venture out which I hope to do in March.
