Each month, extra credit is posted on our class Instagram page . Since the Instagram account is public, you can access it via the internet as a web page. The idea is that for each day of the month, you challenge yourself by drawing the topic listed. Each challenge has one drawing for each day of the month which can be done daily, or students can pick and choose which topics they want to draw. Art Challenges will be posted each month during the school year until May. If you decide to do the extra credit Art Challenge, you can earn up to ten points each max ( ie: for September, students can earn up to 300 points extra credit).  Please make sure to number each drawing including the month, first name, last name, and class name on each page. Students can use sketchbooks if they have one, or plain computer paper works as well. Students can complete each challenge on a separate page, or group multiple drawings onto one page to conserve paper- but please make sure to include the challeng

About Me:  My name is Miss Stevens and I am very excited to be your child's art teacher this year! This will be my 3rd year here at TOR and my 7th year teaching. Prior to teaching at TOR, I taught art to grades pre-k through 8 in Hartford, Ct. I graduated with a BS in Art Education from Southern CT State University and am currently enrolled in graduate school working on my MBA at University of Bridgeport. I enjoy many different hobbies (besides teaching art of course) such as crafting, photography, shopping and hiking. I am currently in the process of organizing an inner city hockey clinic and hope to have it up and running in the upcoming school year. I love to have communication with parents throughout the school year. Parents- please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have. Contact by Email is best! Make sure to check out TOR’s Peach Jar website for our monthly class newsletter. I look forward to a great year together and all the fun art we will cr
