My students are in grades K-5. They are amazing! We are not an arts and crafts class. I take my subject, art, seriously (in a fun way!), and so do my students. In the our studio, seven year olds learn to draw from a grid, while five year olds create depth and space in their paintings by overlapping. My students can identify a light source, and create shadows, stamp texture, or build a city from styrofoam. They do it all! And they do it well. My students know I have high expectations, and they most often meet them. They work hard, and most are very detail oriented. Eighty percent of our school's population speak a language other than English at home. About seventy percent of our students are English language learners. Many of the students speak no English at all. Fortunately, my subject is one, where they can succeed without oral language. Art is the universal language. My students can achieve success by watching, and then doing.
