"Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up."
— Pablo Picasso
I had the experience of teaching students in PreK through 8th grade at a private Catholic school in Montgomery County, PA. Students were exposed to a variety of discipline-based lessons in both 2D and 3D media.
2nd graders learned the names of different types of lines, studied intricate lines on leaves, and drew the leaves on paper. They then used primary color pastels and blended them to create secondary colors to show how leaves change throughout the seasons.

4th and 5th graders learned about proportion and how to create gesture sketches quickly by simplifying the body into basic shapes. They studied the model and had the chance to pose for one another to show energetic actions in their people.

Students learned to draw from the grid to enlarge their chosen gesture drawing. They also used different pressure with colored pencils to create changes in value.
3rd grade students studied Mexican artist Frida Kahlo's still lives. They chose at least 6 different still life objects and drew them on colored paper. They then arranged them in a colorful collage and carefully looked at which objects were in front and which ones were behind one another.

Students learned the names of different parts of the body and ways to simplify the skeleton. They drew skeletons in different positions and created silly halloween scenes.
Students learned about radial symmetry and how to create unique snowflake designs out of coffee filters
I co-teach a after school art service group. Students in the group created ceramic bowls for a local empty-bowl dinner. Money generated from sale of the bowls goes to help promote awareness for hunger and homelessness in the area.
