Greetings from Art!
Welcome to Art at White Station Elementary!
I am your child’s Art Teacher, Mrs. Shirley. We have a creative and comfortable atmosphere conducive for expressing and communicating using visual art. Our talented artists will learn about diverse cultures, participate in art discussions, and learn how to create using a variety of art media. We will begin with The Elements of Art, The Principles of Design and construct our meaning by analyzing our work. Students will be graded on meeting the lesson’s objectives, quality of work, work ethic, and responsibility. Our work is featured around the community, our school, local contests and the Board of Education. You can check out our school website and my blog for specific art information: http://www.scsk12.org/schools/whitestation.es/site/index.shtml and select my page or ShirleysArtSpot@blogspot.com
