Art theme for the year: Know thyself in Art.
Day 1
1. Letter to students, send letter to parents
2. Introduction
a. Prezi
3. Philosophy
a. I want students to know that anyone can learn to draw or create art. Creativity does not equal skill. In Art, as in other aspects of life, to learn, you must make mistakes. I intend to create an environment with security, consistency, respect, dignity, and care so that students feel safe enough to do so. I am passionate about building relationships with my students and inspiring them to go farther than they ever thought they could.
