Welcome to the Cornerstone Art Department !

The first 6 weeks of Art will be not only a reintroduction of the Principals of Art & Design. These lessons will be taught in a fun & open environment where each student has the opportunity to advance & learn to the best of their ability.

They will be able to experience different types of mediums in Drawing, Sculpture, Painting & Mixed Media.

NOTE: Art lessons are not repeated throughout the year.  Therefore, students can take Art again & again if they are interested!!!!

Although Art is a CESIT selection, this is a REAL Art Class supported by the SBISD Art Curriculum Program & Guidelines.

 Grading Policy & Assessment:

Grades are based on the 4 criteria listed below:

• Effort***
• Following directions
• Craftsmanship/Quality
• CREATIVITY
•  
•     *** Students are graded on their own ability & effort. These are not comparison grades of other  students' art work. This is especially true in 1st and 3rd period where all grade levels are mixed.  EFFORT also involves
• good classroom behavior & not being a distraction to others.

The list above will ensure all Art students to experience                     valuable learning outcomes!!!

I have been both a professional artist and art teacher for the past 30 years.  My degree in art is a BFA with concentrations in printmaking, drawing and painting.  However, I've continued to expand my art to include papermaking, fiber, ceramics and sculpture.  Teaching experience has included K-8th, college courses and invitational artist presentations and seminars.

I really enjoy sharing art knowledge with the students.....nurturing each and everyone in their own exploration and success!
