Exciting curriculum changes are happening in the art room! Instead of each student making the same art like we do with PROJECT BASED learning, CHOICE-BASED ART provides opportunity for students to decide how they make their art and with which mediums they would like to use. This type of approach will allow for more exploration and creativity, planning, problem solving and collaboration. This is how artists create! We will begin with Drawing Studio. As students become proficient with the practices and procedures new studios such as architecture, fiber arts (weaving and sewing), collage and painting will become available. Stay tuned for photos of the studios as they open, and photos of student work.
About Me
- Meche Farah
- 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!
