Welcome to ArtEdCD.com an information center for teaching art skills

Who am I? I am Mary E. Mathews, a professional art teacher with 35
years of experience. I have experimented with one goal in mind –to
make all students who enter my art room successful! High standard and
teaching skills one-step at a time enables all students to succeed. Without skills
students make false judgments. Concepts and skills will enable students to understand how an artist thinks and works and how to use various media. There is so much to learn and so it is extremely important to teach students that which they will remember and continue to use; they remember if all of their senses are stimulated. The visuals I have created, teach students step by step how to plan a work of art, how to execute observation skills, how to use color layering and many other aspects of art. I also include portfolio planning and grant writing, essential tools in expanding a young artist’s viewpoint.

Rubrics can also be purchased. Rubrics are your expectations for student progress and should inform your students what you will expect.

In order to use these compact discs you will need a Power Point program. These CDs may be shown on the classroom television using an Averkey or a Smartboard and projector, or printed as overheads. They may also be copied for a student’s individual use. When opening the file you may need to choose all files in order to view the presentation.
