2D Art Work

I try to differentiate between 3D and 2D as much as I can, but 2D mediums and techniques are essential for students to reach greater heights in 3D art development. It lays the foundation for art across the board so we are regularly practicing and pushing ourselves in drawing, painting, pastels, and more.

Lesson Plan

Over Hispanic Heritage months we worked with color theory and created life-size sombrero paintings! Many of the children were able to bring in their own sombreros to show and share with their peers.

Digital Art Unit

Students designed both 4by4 stickers and 8by11.5 posters! Utilizing Sketchpad.app students had their first experience working with online tools and techniques to create digital art.

Lesson Plan

Painting produces a relaxing, open environment where artists feel safe to explore their own creativity. These projects build a sense of accomplishment. Painting allows students to creating visually appealing artwork from all angles in the art world, and I love to teach it!

Self Portraits

I am an advocate for creating self portraits in every age group I teach! It is a fantastic way for kids to understand themes and styles that reflect who they are. When teaching these (typically in the beginning of the year) I emphasize self-expression and it's importance in the creative process!
