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".

Unassisted Self-Portraits

I asked the students to create their own self-portrait without any help from me. This is certainly a good starting point for these young artists. By the end of the year, I will have "Assisted Self-Portraits" as well. I love seeing the difference!!!




Students participated in an art contest for a dental office in our town. Here is just a sampling of the wonderful projects that were completed.

Butterflies

Amazing things happen in class when you instruct students to "create a butterfly art project". I rarely do this, but wow, interesting and creative results!
