Welcome to 6th grade art. This will be a year of 2 D and 3 D art combined. This is a class in which you will work on improving your skills no matter what level you are at. The goal of each project I select is that every student will be able to find success. I know most of you will tell me "I can't draw", well I can't play the trombone, but I am pretty sure that with instruction, an open mind, practice and effort I could learn. The same goes for art. We will learn art history through our Artist Coloring Book which is explained on another page on this site, please go check it out. This is the page for updates on the current project happening in the art room. Most of our projects take a few weeks to complete. In mid May we will send 12 pieces of art from SCMS to the Middle School Art Show exhibited in the Foster Tanner Gallery at FAMU. This is a professionally hung exhibit of artwork done in middle schools throughout Leon County. Every year it is an absolute treat to go and observe, and I especially love presenting the awards to our award winning students. Only 12 pieces can be exhibited from each school, so it is quite an honor to have one of your pieces of art selected to go.
Parents - if you have any questions, concerns, ideas etc the best way to get in touch with me is by email. I check my email first thing in the morning, and last thing before I leave for the day. Often I will check throughout the day, so it truly is the quickest way to get a response from me. I do have a tricky email, be sure to add the 2 after my name. If you do not hear back from me within 24 hours, check with your child if I was at school, if I was, please forward the email to Ms. Rishell. She knows of the tricky email situation and will pass it on to me. I teach in 2 different classrooms, and have 3 different phones, so as you can tell catching me at the correct phone is often tricky - go with the email method. If you truly want to chat, just tell me that in the email and I will call you back. I will respond to all correspondence within 24 hours on school days. I look forward to a very creative year with your child.
