My Students

Teaching art has always been my dream. I love to see the growth in my classroom by all my students. Most students come in to art thinking that they cannot draw. Then after a few weeks of practice and a lot of encouragement, they discover that they have tons of talent. I teach in a very small rural area that is a low economic impact area. My students become part of my heart, and I would love to give them as many opportunities to explore different mediums. Thank you from all of my students for giving and helping them find their dreams. There are not many opportunities for kids to explore art in our area.

My Project

This project will help my students understand that there are so many different types of art. It will help them understand that art is full of different kinds of art. None of my students would ever be able to have a chance to work with glass outside of my class. My students have seen some of the glass fusing projects, and they are so excited about being able to try this art project. I feel that this will be a wonderful experience for all my wonderful students to be able to enjoy.
