My art education philosophy for this age group centers around building a foundation of knowledge and skills with the elements of art. I prioritize integrating art history in my art curriculum to build an awareness and appreciation for the arts. I seek out and develop BOLD colorful projects that excite students.

In my classroom, my goal is to provide an environment where students can freely express themselves and have fun. Mistakes are encouraged because that is where growth happens. I want students to challenge themselves and accomplish things they didn’t even know they were capable of. Through art, children gain an immense amount of self confidence that will translate into all areas of their life.

Grades K–2:  Students wil be graded on their participation and conduct in the art room. This includes the effort they put into their projects, how respectfully and responsibly they use art supplies, and their willingness to help clean up at the end of each class.

In addition to participation and conduct, K-2 students will receive grades based on the specific art skills and concepts we focus on each quarter.

Grades 3–4: Students will be graded on each project they complete based on their effort, ability to follow directions, responsible care of art supplies and participation in classroom cleanup.
