Welcome to the 2017-2018 school year!
What does it mean to be an IB MYP Student?
Simply, do your best, be respectful and use class time well and you will do just fine. If you have any questions, comments or concerns feel free to ask or share anytime! I want the art room to be a comfortable and approachable environment for you and other students.
Embrace Identity
Identity is the way we perceive and express ourselves. Use art as a tool to express your ideas. Try to document how we, our environments, and our outlooks change. (above: Frank Big Bear, b. 1953, Fawn, 2002-04, Prismacolor pencil on paper, 44 x 30 inches. Alice Tweed Tuohy Purchase Fund)

Embrace Diversity
Explore cultural competence. Communicate without words. Limits in a language do not limit the ability to think. Explore different cultures, history, and beliefs with an open mind. (Above: “Diversity Hands Cubism.” Shop: Educador’s Art.) |
Embrace Individuality
It is important to foster individuality, for only the individual can produce the new ideas. -Albert Einstein Make mistakes, be flexible, be open and enjoy the process of creating. (Above: Youngman 2012
