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".

Birds on the Beach

After discussing recent oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and the ecological effects of it in our region, I led the students in drawing their own "Birds of the Beach". We discussed pelicans, herons, and the egret. Students picked the setting where the bird would be. We only used pencils for sketching and oil pastels for adding color.
