Welcome to my new classroom website!I will be spending some time getting everything together but would appreciate any suggestions along the way.
There are many areas to the website that I know you will find great value in. My goal is to make the website not just a tool for me, as the teacher, to connect with parents, but also a learning tool and resource for the students.
The Mission of Art Program in BPS is: "To encourage and cultivate in our students a life-long love, respect and appreciation for the Visual Arts by providing all students with a rigorous Visual Arts program that is aligned to NYS standards, the BPS Curriculum, and Common Core Learning Standards. By doing so, the Visual Arts will become an integral part of the successes and achievements of all our students."
Listed bellow are the New York State Standards for the Visual Arts that we follow:
Standard 1 - Creating & Performing in the Arts
Students will be creating 2&3 dimensional works of art
Standard 2 - Knowing and Using Art materials and Resoures
