Hi, I'm Erin Warner
the Visual Arts Teacher at Montgomery Elementary School
.A Little About
Myself.
Even after 27 years, my passion continues to be teaching. I love to watch children explore and learn new techniques. Children motivate me to be a better person. “Children make me a more knowledgeable person: Children are, by nature, very curious. With all the questions they ask, I constantly find myself looking for answers in books and on the Internet.” I admire children’s: endless energy, honesty, creativity, flexibility, and resilience.
Art and children consume my world. I enjoy going to art shows, teach weekend classes, and doing work in my studio when time allows. Besides teaching, I also enjoy performing arts. I spend my extra time taking photographs and making jewelry.
I grew up in Atlanta and attended Riverwood High School. I moved back to Atlanta over nine years ago. I have two children: a daughter who loves horses and drawing and a son who went to college at Appalachian State studying appropriate technologies to help future generations live in a green environment. He owns a restuarant and is a chief in Raleigh North Carolina. I am also A proud grandmother of a 16 month old baby girl named Klorissa who lives with me.

Curriculum at a Glance
The K-5 Visual Arts Curriculum introduces and builds upon fundamental concepts in art. Concepts, techniques and skills are established, reviewed and enriched through meaning and application with each grade level. Areas of concentration include Elements of Art, Color Theory, Art History, and Cultures. With each sequential grade level, curriculum units are studied and applied in greater depth and emphasis is placed on student dialogue, critical inquiry, and reflection in response to the art-making process. Classroom dialogue is encouraged by student artists about their own art, and the artwork of master artists. The students will use an extensive array of art media and be instructed how to engage in safe and appropriate use of classroom materials and tools. Some art media may include watercolor paints, oil pastels, tempera paint, crayons, markers, clay, printmaking, mixed media and textiles. During the course of the school year, art units will provide experiences in two and three - dimensional art. Students will delve into projects with focus upon the elements of art, color theory, famous artists, art movements and multicultural art. Students will engage in a sequence of engaged learning experiences that will develop student understanding and self - assessment of their own artwork through planned - doing - reflecting segments. This will be achieved by pedagogical pacing through various classroom activities that encompass active learning strategies, multi - sensory instruction, guided instruction, independent practice and student evaluation.
