My Students

I am blessed to be able to teach at 4-star, Title One school. Usually, those two words aren't said in the same sentence. Our school works hard to support all of our students, but this year is different.

We don't have an art teacher.

How can we reach students’ creative, social, emotional, and mental well-being during this pandemic learning era? My goal is to support teachers with the ability to execute creativity, communication, and self-understanding for the entire school.

My Project

Imagine a bag at your fingertips with everything you need to facilitate artwork! Class sets of supplies, with a video or a text to start the experience, line the walls of our empty art room. The art room may be quiet, but the energy is electric as teachers pick which lesson will inspire the next Van Gogh. Ability to create art and appreciate the power of the hands is a gift for the entire school with grade levels blurred as we all create away from the tech and isolation of the past year.

Van Gogh Go Bags are the "Blue Apron" for art education.

Quick, easy supplies, organized directions, and powerful interaction is the outcome of these lessons. How better to increase positive self-image, enhance conversation skills, and improve mental health than creating with your peers during this COVID recovery. We will focus on the Beginning Art standard 1.0(B)1.5 Create artwork independently and collaboratively, displaying positive studio behavior including responsibility, organization, self-motivation, and appropriate interaction.

Using the arts as a language that transforms thoughts and passions into a unique form of communication is what Van Gogh Go Bags will do for our students. The best thing is these bags can be used for years as the lessons evolve into powerful expressions of self.
