Lessons, Art and Fun Times In a Middle School Art Room |
First 2 weeks were a fantastic start to our school year and time spent in art. I want to thank all the parents who stopped by to say hi at open house, especially any 8th grade families I had the privilege to meet and speak with. It was very encouraging to hear so many great conversations going on with families and related studies teachers, the interest in our school's extra curricular activities and related studies has really grown and it has a great year ahead without a doubt. The site is ready to be explored and I hope everyone finds it helpful and inspiring!
Thanks, The Heart-ful Art Room

Students and parents welcome back to school and to Related Studies! Yes you read that correctly, we've gone through a name change! I am so excited this year to be a part of a larger related arts team that now includes; band, choir, technology, strength and conditioning, health, drama and of course art! So just how different is the related arts program this year other than new classes and new faces? Well, as a school we have implemented year long related studies classes for 8th graders, for a better high school and college prep, given 7th graders semester long choices beginning in January and have lengthened our class times in related studies classes for a more in depth approach and introduction to our classes. We have so many great opportunities and possibilities ahead of us this year with all these changes and the constant support from our colleagues and administrators! As a small bit of news, August 21st is open house and would be a great opportunity to come meet our related studies team, their rooms, AND our redesigned art room! After living in the pea green room all last year it was high time for a makeover, so over the summer with some help from my fantastic sidekick (aka sister Miranda) we painted at least half of the throw up green (notice the many names but all still disgusting) with a more eye pleasing and gender friendly dark and light blue that thankfully almost compliments the remaining green. I've also added more instructional materials (aka memes) to our walls to add cheer to even the surliest face ;) Here's a little teaser of what the after looks like: For more information on grade level course work find your grade level at the top of this homepage or contact me for more information. Visit 8th grade's page for information on how the course this year works, a spotlight on individual artworks and important project information throughout the year. Hope you enjoy our little site and have a great school year!
See you soon, The Heart-ful Art Room. |

CategoriesMs. LI have been an artist for quite some time, however, I am a fairly new face in the education community. I still enjoy pursuing my own art career in my free time but the majority of my time is spent in the classroom or exploring new creative adventures for students. I love being able to spend my days with such a great group of middle schoolers who are seriously the best at humor! |
