About Me

My photo
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".

Mr. Picasso Heads

Students in the third, fourth, and fifth grade learned about the life and art of Pablo Picasso. I read a book by author Mike Venezia about the different periods of his career. We took some time to analyze his abstract portraits. Students created their own portraits based on his technique of lateral view/frontal view. Some of the students named their portraits after another person (friend, parent, teacher, etc.)
