Falcon Free Choice Art GalleryWhat artistic creation have you made lately?
Maybe you have a special art project you did this summer you would like to share with our Flatirons Community. Please email Mrs. Salazar your free choice art work to be displayed in our Flatirons Art Home Learning Free Choice Gallery. This is OPTIONAL and to be done AFTER art assignments are complete. Currently, there are SO many wonderful artistic creations by our Flatiron Falcons during spring Home-Learning! I will be updating in September as I receive new art work. Thanks!

HELLO Flatirons Families!
So hard to believe the month of September is almost finished. Thank you for your support with home-learning and your patience. We are getting everything better dialed in as a school to support home learning. I have been LOVING seeing all your children virtually through google meets in our LIVE art classes. They have all been doing a terrific job at turning in their art assignments to me through SeeSaw. I have discovered that SeeSaw is a wonderful platform for children to share their art. I have LOVED seeing their art photos and videos over the past 5 weeks. This week is an exciting week because some students will be going to school in person. I wanted to let everyone know that art will be virtual for this entire school year. I have on-site teaching exemption this year due to the fact that I am my elderly mother's primary caregiver and cannot risk the exposure to Covid-19, especially teaching the entire elementary school. So ART will always be virtual this year, whether you are at school or at home, the learning will be the same. IF I need to get students any special art supplies, that will happen on Mondays, home pickup days for home learners. As always, if you ever have any questions, please don't hesitate to email me. My website this year will mainly be used for more general art class information, not assignments. Here is to a GREAT 2020-2021 school year! Sincerly, Katie Salazar Flatirons Art Teacher Email: katie.salazar@bvsd.org

Meet Flatirons Elementary Art Teacher:
Katie Salazar.
Hello Flatirons families!
My name is Katie Salazar and I am excited to be in my second year as the Flatirons Elementary Art Teacher. Flatirons is such wonderful team at to be a part of. 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 eleven years working for both Boulder Valley School District and Summit School District. I have also running a private art program up in Summit County for the past twelve years. I have two beautiful daughters and a fun-loving dog that keep me very busy. I look forward to meeting you all and teaching your children art virtually this year!
“Every child is an artist.” ― Pablo Picasso
I truly believe this is true and my goal as an art teacher is to encourage each child to discover their inner artist. I emphasis in my art classes that EVERYONE is an artist in their own way.
Grades in Art
Grades in art are a combination of class participation, effort, artistic craftsmanship, art folder completeness, and art reflections. In Art, we focus more on understanding the art concepts and learning the procedure than just the final finished product. Every art project has grade level specific art concepts related to the grade level visual art standards. For the 2020-2021 school year, all art projects will be delivered through SeeSaw.

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.
