Literacy Week kicked off January 13th and each day held a special activity such as mystery readers, guest readers, and 'wear your words'.  Classes who had art on Wednesday created promotional posters in small groups.  As a group they had to decide which book they wanted to promote and had to design an eye-catching poster that would persuade the viewer to read that book.  There were a lot of lessons learned about compromise and sharing, and we had to problem solve so that everyone had room to work on the poster.   Art Smart words: Literacy, Collaborate, Group Work, Compromise.

About Me

My photo
Michelle "Meche" Farah; I have a BFA in Painting and Illustration and Art History Minor from The Savannah College of Art and Design. Before I discovered a love to teach, I worked in interior design, and film production. My teaching certification is from Jacksonville University. This is my 13th year as a teacher and 4th year at Fort Caroline Middle. I teach Art History and sculpture. I am a professional decorative painting artist and a former board member of NeFAEA- Northeast Florida Art Educators Association. I am an active FAEA- Florida Art Education member and attend state conference every year. I have also attended nationals conference several times. My FAVORITE project is "Recycle-Transformation" which simply means going green and making old items new and appreciated. Our FUTURE is in our hands, I include recycled materials in student projects. In my art program students practice the disciplines of art history, art production, art aesthetics, and art criticism. It is not only important to make and learn about art but how to discuss it and bring value and meaning to it. Thanks for viewing our art blog, we are glad you stopped by!
