About Art Class: On average, students will have art class twice a week for 40 minutes, depending on how that A,B,C rotation falls within that week. Our art curriculum has four main components: Art Production, Art Concepts, Art Appreciation, and last but not least, FUN! My overarching goal is to provide a fun and creative learning environment that fosters a love and appreciation for art that will continue for years to come. Students will learn as they work through the creative process, experimenting with art making in a variety of themes and subjects. It is common for students to save most of their finished artwork in the art room throughout the marking period. This practice will allow us to create a “portfolio” of work that will help each student see and celebrate what they are learning in art class.
Art Room Blog:
I invite you to make regular visits to this Schavey Road Art Blog, where I will be posting regular updates showcasing our artistic adventures. You can also browse the student galleries to check out some of our outstanding work from previous years. I have been posting artworks and updates for the past few years, so there are ton of great memories to explore!
Art room wish list:
Housekeeping supplies: We could use paper towels, baby wipes (kid safe - non clorox), sponges, tissues, zipper sandwich bags, and brown paper lunch sacks.
Art supplies: we typically use standard Crayola art supplies (washable whenever possible) – markers, crayons, colored pencils, watercolor paints, and of course plenty of paper!
Thank you, I hope you are looking forward to a great year!
