Hello Flatirons Families!Exciting News, as of February 1, 2021, I am back in-person teaching at Flatirons. Luckily the my mother was able to get both her Covid vaccinations in January allowing me to return to in-person teaching.
For my home-learners, I will continue to use SeeSaw as my learning platform to post all art lessons and to turn in all art assignments. LIVE art classes will now be everyday school is in session through my google meet: falconsart. Mondays will continue be independent learning in SeeSaw, mainly finishing art assignments and turning them into me. As always, if you ever have any questions, please email me.

Hello Flatirons families!
My name is Katie Salazar and I am the Flatirons Elementary Art Teacher. Flatirons is such wonderful team of dedicated educators.
My family and I share our time between Boulder and Summit County. I have had the pleasure of being an art teacher for children for the past thirteen years working for both Boulder Valley School District and Summit School District. I have two beautiful daughters and a fun-loving dog that keep me very busy. When I'm not teaching art, I am a watercolor artist, working on commission, specializing in architectural renderings, cabin portraits and mountain landscapes. Check out my personal Art website:

Wow...Art Education is really valuable and useful!
Look what the Colorado Department of Education has to say, "Exploration of visual arts is about invention, creation, and innovation. Building on the development of ideas through a process of inquiry, discovery, and research leads to the creation of works of art, and, whether using traditional materials or the latest technologies, prepares students to be independent, lifelong learners. Participation in the visual arts provides students with unique experiences and skills that develop important traits for success in the 21st century workforce. Studying art and design involves inquiry, posing and solving problems, perseverance, re-purposing, taking risks, and persuading and inspiring."
Visual ART CURRICULUM K-5
In Art, each grade is working on age appropriate projects, learning different skills and understanding different art concepts through various projects incorporating the BVSD Visual Art Standards. To learn more about the BVSD Visual Art Standards, check out the Visual Art Standards page. As an art teacher, I feel that for student, art is about learning various art techniques and art CONCEPT; it is not all about the end PRODUCT. Sometimes are end results are awesome, sometimes they are more of a learning art experience. Check out the different grade level pages to see what your child is studying in art.
