In my elementary program, I emphasize drawing and painting. The students increase their awareness of technical skills and explore a variety of media, including clay, wood, paint (tempera, watercolor, and acrylics), color pencils, charcoal, dry pastel and oil pastels. Many projects involve assemblage and collage, and combinations of two or more techniques. Projects are based on my developmental art curriculum, which combines studio processes, art history, and the individual interests of the particular class. Students also learn about the different roles of art in society.
