Welcome to
The Art Room!!
Meet the Teacher:
Hi, I am Jolie Atkins, the Art Teacher at Black Mountain Schools.
My goal is to provide each student with a well-rounded arts
education. I believe it is important for students to channel learning and interests about
themselves and the world into a creative and interactive medium such as art.
Art helps students to grow and develop academic as well as social and emotional concepts. It adds to
their learning experience at school by integrating their other subjects
for full-circle learning. We are focused on global learning by
incorporating art influences from many cultures in the world.
Technology in the Art Room enhances students' learning in the 21st
century.
Let
the beauty of the community around us be your inspiration!! In our Art
Room, we are inspired by nature and we try to be good environmental
stewards by lightening our carbon footprint. We practice the 3 R's:
Reducing our waste, Reusing old/found materials to make art, and
Recycling only if we can't salvage what we are working on.
