First Art Rolls Post

Welcome to Art Rolls!

The purpose of Art Rolls is to provide a view into the art room for parents and to help inspire dialog at home about art and the many creative possibilities that it can provide.

Inspiration for the name Art Rolls came from my rolling cart of art supplies. And so, it seemed appropriate to title this blog Art Rolls. What is wonderful about this way of teaching is its incredibly dynamic nature! It leaves room for change at a moments notice and it meets the fast paced needs of elementary students.

Each class will begin with a look and discussion of a work of art. I will read a storybook to help initiate conversation about the content, and during the bulk of the class, we will explore many mediums through hands-on experiences. Throughout the course of the year I hope to help students develop their own voice through their work, to inspire expression and to encourage critical thinking skills.

I will be posting updates once a week. Follow us throughout the year and see where it takes us!
