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".

Glue Pastel Clowns

Students identified the artwork, "Seated Harlequin" by Pablo Picasso. We discussed what clowns/harlequins do and what they look like. We discussed how to draw a face shape (using imaginary fingers!) and they did the rest! This project began on black construction paper. They drew their clown bust with a white crayon. Then, added glue on top of the white markings. The next day in art, they added details with oil pastels or construction paper crayons.
