Welcome to The Art Room at Saint Anastasia School

My name is Ms. Jahnle and I am happy to be the Art Teacher for Kindergarten through Eighth Grade at St. Annies. I am looking forward to a fun and creative time with your child in The Art Room!

Art at St. Annies is a journey to discover our unique creative abilities.

Together, we will explore the meaning of art in our lives,  as well as discovering the art of other times, places, and cultures.

Using a variety of art materials, we will use art elements and design principles to create art as personal expression.

We will learn to critique and evaluate our own art, and that of other artists, through the four steps of understanding:  Description, Analysis, Interpretation, and Judgment.

ART CURRICULUM:

Using a timeline of art history as a framework, art students will be LOOKING AT ART to learn about other cultures, places, artists and works of art, TALKING ABOUT ART to discuss meanings, ideas, feelings and mood, and MAKING ART to create expressive visual images.

My PHILOSOPHY:

  Art is a means of learning about oneself and the world, offering an outlet for personal expression and creativity.

Art is a unique way of learning and communicating in school, using a symbol system that is different from both the verbal and mathematical.
