Welcome Back to Art 2020-2021

 

Hi All!!! Welcome back to a new school year at PS 150Q. I have temporarily moved to a different room in the building!! If you see me on Zoom this is probably what it will look like!! 

I will be starting the year teaching 1st and 2nd grades. If you are coming to school I will see most of the first grade classes on Mondays and Tuesdays and I will see all the 2nd grades on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. If you are fully remote I will be sending you video directions through Google Classroom.

If you have any questions, please reach out to me via email at ellen.wine@ps150q.org

Grace Martin Taylor (far left) teaching an art class.

Did you know I am related to a well-known artist? My great-great aunt Grace Martin Taylor was a well known American Artist!! She was born in Morgantown, WV and attended West Virginia University. (I was the 5th generation of my family to graduate from WVU!! The 6th generation starts next fall!!!) She was also an art teacher in WV at the college level. Click the link to the Power Point to learn more about my Aunt Grace! Look at some examples of her art and see how her artworks connect to what we are learning in class. There are questions to help guide you and your family as you look!!
