Welcome to Mrs. Kaiser's Art Class!!

Wow, big changes for me!  I am so excited to be part of the Walsh community after spending 7 years teaching art at Branford High School I am going back to my roots in art, which is teaching middle school!  Many years ago I taught middle school in Madison and New Haven-very fond memories.  This year I will be teaching 5th and 6th grade on B and D days.    My space is located near the 5th grade locker bays near the Home Ec room-hopefully I will get many treats when classes start cooking!


During the year students will explore many styles of art, learning about a variety of artists.   Every student will learn the skills that are needed to express themselves visually!  Art class meets once every four days for the entire school year with most projects spanning many class periods.  The MOST IMPORTANT thing about getting every bit out of Art Class is for all students to simply participate-get involved with the conversation, listen to what is being taught, be ready to make art.  I post most lessons on this blog. 

If your child would like to enhance their knowledge (practice really helps one grow as an artist) there will be extra assignments on the blog.  I am looking forward to getting to know all the young artists throughout the year!

  Sincerely, Mrs. Kaiser
