My Students

I am blessed to teach at a school that serves the students of our community free of charge, bringing Waldorf education to all. A teacher stays with his or her students for 3 years, becoming a close-knit family of learners. At our K-8 school, students receive a personalized education. They are from all different ethnic backgrounds, though most come from working-class families.

Our students learn through exposure and experience with the words, art, and thinking of some of the world's greatest authors, poets, painters, and philosophers.

We believe the arts are what make us human and that learning to paint, sing, play an instrument, act, and dance are as important as math and language arts. Our school motto is that we teach through the head, hands, and heart.

My Project

The students in 7th grade embark on a study of Renaissance portraits in art class to accompany their Main Lesson Blocks. Students will learn the proper shading, proportions, and techniques for drawing the human form.

Allowing the students to have the room to practice their new skills and the proper tools to do so encourages success and resilience in often reluctant middle grade students.

This sketchbook and set of artist's pencils will allow us to get right to work in practicing these skills and serve as a beautiful record of their progress as artists.
