A retired teacher in elementary school, I’m also an artist, writer, and former teacher of art. I have a Multiple Subjects credential, a Single Subject credential for Art and English, LDS/ESL certification, a Master’s Degree in Elementary Education with a Mathematics focus, and Montessori certification. All elementary grades were covered, as well as special students such as ELL, GATE and at-risk. Share2Learn resources and lessons are intended to inspire creativity in students, encourage independence and promote authentic art making. The teacher’s individuality and developmental ability are taken into account. Therefore, instructions and expectations are vague, student pages are left blank, clipart is limited, and teacher individuality is not considered.

The ability to integrate standards and core material into your lessons is so useful. It makes me feel at ease teaching art, knowing that even if it takes me too long to cover another topic, I will be covered.
This project was done for an open house. These results were incredible. It was a great experience for students to create their own portraits.
