My Students

I am tasked with the pleasure of teaching enthusiastic third grade students in all subject areas. These students are curious, intelligent, and creative beyond all measures. They attend a Visual and Performing Arts Magnet in Los Angeles. Being that our school is an Art's Magnet, we try to integrate art in all forms into as many subject areas as possible. The students at this school come from various backgrounds with various life experiences. Funding for some of our materials is difficult to come by. I appreciate you coming to our page and would appreciate and support you could give.

My Project

I am excited about teaching my third grade students to animate their own artwork. One of the easiest ways to see your artwork come to life is through a very old practice of using a Zoetrope. These have been in existence since ancient times and were one of the first forms of entertainment to exist. Teaching students about this form of art will give them insight into modern day animation. I am also requesting a class set of drawing boards to assist the students in their ability to comfortably draw their own creative characters for this project. It will also allow us to work in any space in order to become inspired by different settings.
