Welcome...
Greetings,
My name is Nina Benson and I have the awesome privilege of teaching art at Nichols Middle School. My goal/pedagogy this 2012-2013 year, as in the past; is to encourage your children in the development of a sense of community/responsibility, through their art. As they tackle various tasks, students will learn the Elements of Art, Principles of Design as well as hone their appreciate of art history.
I've always wanted students to be mindful of their product, however, students will be adding the new thought, that the end-product matters to others. Some of your children will be sharing their art with the community through some rather innovative and exciting venues.
Some of the assignments will require your children to think about family members and produce art that is reflective of these thoughts. Hence, your children will be writing more, offering stories as well as rationales for their products. In short, it is my hope that the art productions from your children become bridges between, their classmates, your home and the community.

The adventure is far from done...It continues, but with ease.
Sometimes we view tasks as IMPOSSIBLE! ...Then difficult... Then before we know it, they are DONE! :-)
