My Project

My students are avid artists who love to experiment with materials and find unique approaches to every project. They come to the art room from neighborhoods across our city and bring with them an amazing diversity of thoughts and ideas. Through art class, they bring these ideas to life in their work as we learn about world cultures, famous artists, important art movements, and a variety of art techniques.

They will be exploring our school-wide Social Studies theme of identity through some creative printmaking and assemblage projects.

These wooden frames and printmaking surfaces will give my students a great start on their art projects.
