Hello,
My name is Tim
Smith and I am the Middle and High school art teacher here at Sale Creek.
My goal is to expose your child to the wonderful world of art. Through art
history, your child will learn how past movements and periods have shaped
and influenced our culture. Through art criticism, your child will learn
not only how to critic a work of art but will better be able to explain their
own actions and behaviors. Through art production, your child will have
the opportunity to work with a variety of media while challenging their skill
and creativity. Through aesthetics, your child will explore the visual
imagery of art and its contribution to our lives.
Supplies your child will need:
Art pad-at least
50 sheets 9x12 or larger
Markers (at least
8 colors)
Colored pencils
(at least 12 colors)
Gum or kneaded
eraser
Small pencil
sharpener
