What is it all about?
I created this page gearing it towards todays world, and finding an artistic way of adjusting to changes. I also want students to feel that they have the power, and are able to change the world around them. Then I began to think that students should see art work that did just that. There are so many artist out there who have changed the world. The theme is simple inspire. Inspire the world to change. Inspire yourself by becoming more knowledgeable about what art is all about, which is expression. Learn how to express yourself. I want students to learn about artist such as Anselm Kiefer, who created massive pieces full of grief and shame that his culture pressed on him.

Technology level
If you have questions about technology I am just a beginner. I do not have a lot of experience with a lot of programs. I find the internet to be very complicated. When I tired to upload a video onto this website, I pasted the link then changed to html. I discovered by changing it after I pasted the link, that the link changed as well. After the link changed it would no longer work so I was stuck with just a like on a sticky note, up to the point when I discovered the link changed. I am currently in a computer art course, where I will be learning more about different programs. In this course I am hoping to get a better understanding on how to use technology to my advantage, and hopefully to become less frustrated. I am very familiar with Microsoft programs and angel. I also am good at searching for information.

The resouce
All of the information provided in these tabs are directed towards teaching art for grades 6-12th. I decided to create a couple tabs for artist in the field of sculpture, ceramics, paint and structure/buildings. I want students to see there is not a wrong way to create art and expression. I also hope that students understand there are elements to art by looking at artist designs.

Inspiration
How do you express yourself. This sticky note has a selection of additive artist, and artist with intriguing design or subject that you can go to Google images to view their art. Anselm Kiefer Jackson Pollack Robert Smithson: Spiral Jetty Dorthea Lange Jenny Holzer Sandy Skoglund Chuck Close Wayne Thiebaud
Grade level
I would recommend most of these artist for 10-12th grade. Some of the meanings behind the art is more complex, requiring more advanced students. Although just looking for inspiration these artist can be useful for many students a crossed many grade levels.

Incorporating old and new
This is my home page, which I think is very important to middle and high school students. I want to get students involved in world issues. I would like to teach art at a high school level. I would pose projects dealing with world issues. The news is highly important, and more people need to be aware of what is going on in the world. Art is a huge part of history, photographs and paintings have been used since humans have exist. Students need to be more involved to get a better understanding of the world around them. This is geared for cross content, but it gives inspiration for art. I want to teach middle school and high school students how to express their thoughts and beliefs like so many artist before them about government and world issues such as: government, wars, global problems, entertainment, fashion and health. I included website such as: color theory, art talk and world wide gallery to help demostrate different techniques students can apply to express themselves.
