Welcome to Art Classes 2025-26
My name is Mrs. Herion and I teach art to students in Kindergarten through 8th grade. This year marks my 16th year teaching Art at St. Juliana. In addition, I have substitute taught at SJS for over 20 years.
All students have art once a week for 30-45 minutes depending on grade level. Students will learn the basics of art which include the Elements of Art, the Principles of Art, introduction famous artists and art history. Seasonal projects are also included. Students in grades 2-8 will create Art Portfolios to hold their artwork from throughout the school year. Portfolios are sent home at the end of the school year. Kindergarten and 1st grade students will bring artwork home as it is completed. Student artwork is also displayed in school throughout the year.
Students in grades 6, 7, and 8 will receive grades in Art class. Grades will show on report cards as a +, S, or -.
Students receive a daily behavior grade and a project grade for all projects, which are based on the following criteria:
1. Effort/Neatness
2. Follow Directions/Class Rules
3. Completion of task on time
4. Proper Use of Supplies/Equipment
5. Behavior
I look forward to seeing all of the returning students and families, as well as all of our new students and families.
Here's to a great school year!
