Teaching Art

I am very excited to be the new art teacher at Signal Hill Elementary School!  Our very first art project was a collaborative art project—each grade level was given a different color to create something “unique about them” on a hand for a bulletin board outside the art classroom. Through out the year I will be working with students in grades K-5, once a week for a 45-minute session.

My goal is to encourage students to experiment with new art media and techniques, use their imagination to stretch and explore their own unique ideas, develop craftsmanship and observe and understand the world of art.

The arts foster real-world skills that students and use in any career path such as multiple idea generation, thinking-outside-the-box and problem solving.
