About Art Class: About Ms. Artes:
It has been my goal to create a welcoming and accepting art program that not only facilitates learning developments but also bridges the gap from core subjects. This is not a play and crafts class. This is an interdisciplinary art exploration environment! I like to create learning environments that connect the senses by incorporating music that correlates with the lesson as well as visual and cultural elements.
This years curriculum will include (but not limited to): Painting: watercolor, tempera Drawing: graphite, color pencils , oil pastels, crayons Sculpting: paper, found objects Ceramics: non traditional Printmaking Fibers |
I graduated from Texas State University - San Marcos with my Bachelor of Fine Arts. I received my teaching certificate simultaneously through the university. I have taught Pk-5th graders for 2 years. However, this is my first year at Wieland Elementary.
I live in Austin and have grown up in urban settings my whole life. Austin houses a wide range of art which gives me inspiration in my own art creating. My primary studio focus was in Fiber Sculpting. I love to learn and continue to grow as not only a teacher but also as an artist. |
