Welcome to Ms. Gerstemeier’s
Teaching philosophy
Art education is to expand and develop new ways of thinking, understanding, and problem solving as well as to provide social and emotional growth through identity exploration and self expression.
What to expect in art class
My students will create a number of two-dimensional and three-dimensional masterpieces incorporating many artistic mediums (painting, drawing, ceramics, textiles, printmaking, sculpture, etc). My goal is ensure that all my students have the confidence to create art, and to build on artistic skills and concepts; while, looking at and being inspired by other artists and art history.
I pride myself on creating a positive and encouraging classroom environment where my students can learn and feel comfortable and confident in themselves. I look forward to all the memories and masterpieces to come! “Through education comes understanding. Through understanding comes true appreciation. All children are artists.” – Pablo Picasso.
