Ms. Coni Moore

 I teach both Visual ARTs, and English Language

Development classes in the ESL program.                                                                          

I believe that The Role of

the Art Teacher is to:

    • Teach knowledge and skills in art, including drawing, painting, and art history within the context prescribed by the MA Visual Arts Standards;
    • Provide instruction by which students develop aesthetic concepts and appreciations and the ability to make qualitative judgments about art;
    • Demonstrate techniques in activities such as drawing, painting, and 3-dimensional expression;
    • Teach students to use and apply the elements of design and principles of art within different media and techniques;
    • Provide individual and small-group instruction to adapt the curriculum to the needs of students with varying intellectual and artistic abilities, and to accommodate a variety of instructional activities;
    • Instruct students in proper care and use of tools and equipment;
    • Evaluate each student’s performance and growth in knowledge and aesthetic understandings;
    • Plan and present art displays and exhibitions (actual as well as virtual) designed to exhibit students’ work for the school and the community;
    • Provide a creative and stress-free environment in which the Social and Emotional wellbeing of the student is of paramount importance.
