For the kindergarteners very first day in art we had an "Exploring Art Day!" Students were able to move about the room and explore different art media that we will learn more about later in the year. There were six different stations that students could visit to get their creativity flowing: a painting station, a pipe cleaner and bead bracelet station, a modeling clay station, a crayon texture station, a stamping station, and a marker and stencil station. It was a fun intro to art, it helped the students learn the rules and procedures in art, and it helped me get to know all of my new students. Here are some snapshots from our experience:

The first through sixth grade students have been creating sketchbooks to use throughout the school year in art class. In these sketchbooks, we will write and draw small things to help us remember what we are learning about such as art vocabulary words or information about various artists or types of art. At the end of the year, students will get to take home their sketchbooks and reflect on the year we had in art.
Welcome back families! Get ready for a great year in art class with Mrs. W.! I can't wait to see everyone and create amazing artwork with you. This year we will be focusing on Nature through the eyes of Art and we will be creating various artworks showing different aspects of nature such as weather, seasons, landscapes, seascapes, animals, insects, and plants. All of our artwork will be made using the elements of art such as lines, shapes, colors, forms, textures, values, and space. Students are expected to follow the rules in the art room and will have rewards or consequences depending on their behavior. Below you will see some pictures of the art room featuring the Rules and the Bonus Meter which is a way for students to earn rewards. As always, please take note of which day your child has art and either have them wear play clothes that can get dirty or send in a paint shirt or smock that they can keep in their locker and bring with them to art. Feel free to bookmark this website, www.switzerartpage.weebly.com, or like my Facebook page, Mrs. W's Amazing Artists, to stay in the loop of the happenings in the art room.

Mrs. W.About Me: This is my eighth year teaching art at Switzer Elementary. I see every K-6 student for art once a week. My goal during this time is to nurture students' creativity through exploring different art mediums and concepts. By exploring art, students will develop essential knowledge and skills that will prepare them for the future. Categories
