About Me

My name is Sara and I am an art teacher at a small elementary school in the Sunshine State. I teach Kindergarten through fifth grade students. I believe arts education is an integral part of a child's success in school and in life. Students take home more than projects they've completed. They come home with confidence, passion, curiosity, and most importantly, "life".

Crazy Hair Self-Portraits

Art teachers are always on a quest to find new and creative ways for students to create self-portraits. It is not an original idea, however, I borrowed this wacky & awesome idea from another art teacher... First, students created a bust of themselves. They drew a t-shirt on themselves that they owned. The only thing I told them they HAD to do was make themselves have crazy and wacky looking hair! The results were as different as the students who created them! The "Crazy Hair" display has been a favorite of those who walk the hallways of the schools. The student received many compliments on their creativity.
