I love teaching students in Sixth grade about modern art. We moved from Photorealism to Optical Illusions. Here students have looked at many different types of visual illusionists like Bridget Riley and M.C. Escher. To learn more about these artists with your students check out these resources! Students are now working very hard at finishing their own Op Art. To see a video guide of this lesson click here.
Bridget Riley M.C. Escher More on Escher For the remainder of the school year, our fifth graders will be taking a trip through time and learning about art work through the ages. Our first stop is Cave Art or Prehistoric Art! Check out this short clip to see what we learned this week! We began our own cave art inspired paintings/drawings and what a great start they re off to! Curtin family and friends, this project is looking awesome! This week in fourth grade we learned about some serious drawing tools in order to begin these 2D drawings! Some vocabulary words to ask your students about are: (thank you google definition for providing these terms and meanings!)

Meet Mrs. Smith
Hi, I am so happy you are here! My name is Jillette Smith and my journey as an art educator has taken me on an incredible ride. I began teaching in a rural school district located in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania. I taught in this district nearly 8 years. Recently, I began teaching art at a larger district near central PA; Williamsport Area School District, home of the Millionaires! I am very proud to be a Millionaire but miss my Bloomsburg Panthers dearly! I teach grades four, five, and six while serving roughly 500 students. Aside, from teaching; I am very passionate about professional development and sharing/collaborating with other art educators. I spend lots of time as a volunteer on the board of PA's chapter of NAEA (National Art Education Association). As the Regional Representative for PAEA, I help support art teachers in our local school districts by providing them with Act 48 accredited opportunities that pertain to them as artists and art educators, advocate for arts education in PA schools. I love serving on this board because of their strong contribution and dedication for art advocacy and quality arts education in schools for every student. The network of peers is invaluable to me and has shaped who I am as an art educator! To learn more about PAEA you can check out the website here! Archives
