My Students

My students love Art. I know that more Arts Education in the classroom will strengthen student problem-solving and critical thinking skills, adding to overall academic achievement and school success as well as helping students develop a sense of craftsmanship.

I want to push them academically but I also want to increase their awareness of self (mind, body, and voice) and others (collaboration and empathy), improve clarity and creativity in communication of verbal and nonverbal ideas, and provide a deeper understanding of human behavior, motivation, diversity, culture, and history.

Art can have this impact! Young people who participate in the arts are: 4 times more likely to be recognized for academic achievement, 3 times more likely to be elected to class office within their schools, 4 times more likely to participate in a math and science fair, 3 times more likely to win an award for school attendance, participate in youth groups nearly four times as frequently, read for pleasure nearly twice as often, and perform community service more than four times as often.

My Project

I am requesting art supplies which include paint, paintbrushes, magnets, canvas paper, and various collage materials. During winter workshop we will be using these materials to create projects for the holidays. I also envision my students making puppets during our Ancient China study, personal magnets for use on our mood meter, as well as paintings and characters during our units of study.

Arts education makes a tremendous impact on the developmental growth of every child and has been proven to help level the “learning field” across socioeconomic boundaries.

Think about it... projects and 'fun stuff' are what you remember from elementary school, not tests.
