Mini Lesson for Classes 1-5

Hello Artists, parents and guardians! Welcome to a new year at Bel Air Elementary. I'm extremely excited to be teaching art this year from the first grade level to the fifth grade level. As a form of communication, I have labeled the Mini Lessons I will teach this year projects per grade level. Because of the new STEAM setup in the art room, students have the opportunity to create the mini lessons I teach or create their own project.  I hope you will enjoy the student work through out the year, I always do!
