gpetrarca@stpetercathedral.com Here we are! Back to a new school year and my twentieth year of teaching; two years at Butler County Community College and 18 in the Erie Diocese! My summer was filled with coursework towards my MA in Art Ed. through Boston University (better late than never! - LOL). I'll be working on the last half of my degree during the school year and finishing my research project next summer. This school year will prove to be another creative-filled time. I welcome Kindergarten AND First grade to the art room as official art classes! We will be working on drawing skills and experiencing new art techniques. Other classes will further develop their artistic skills and create some tried and true art projects. My criteria for art assessment will be posted soon. Please be aware that to achieve the highest grade, a student must go above and beyond what is expected. Student's art skills are never compared to others. They are assessed according to their personal level and progression. Conduct is also an important consideration. Any questions or concerns? Please contact me via the above e-mail address. Remember I teach on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday and available only on those days. I will always make an effort to respond in a timely manner. Looking forward to a creative year! |

ART ROOM WISH LIST Projector and Cart for PowerPoint Presentations: The art AND music rooms were never included when the Gala fundraiser bought computer equipment for all the classrooms. Yes, it would be nice to have this type of electronic equipment in our rooms to use quite often. Mr. Skelly has been using 2A's. Neither one of us have a white board, although, we know how to improvise with white paper! Window Air Conditioner: It gets very hot and humid in the room. If we open the windows, the weather and street dirt comes in. Remember, all the heating pipes are hanging above us from the ceiling! You don't need to go to the tropics during the winter, just come to the art room!!! 5 Window Mini Blinds: When the new windows were installed in the primary building several years ago, the art room never got blinds like the other classrooms. Even though we are in the basement, the hot sun shines in quite abit. Also, the new playground is right outside the room. Upright Double Door Metal Cabinets w/shelves & storage cabinets with counters: Next time you are in the art room, take a look at the ancient cabintry. Working doors and drawers would be nice!
