I ignite curiosity in my classroom by introducing students to a variety of artists, art techniques, and styles. They use this knowledge as inspiration while creating their own artwork and are encouraged to explore their own creativity.

In the Art room, not only do I teach them the principles of art, but students also get to practice and fine-tune their fine motor skills. In my classroom, students practice many of life’s essential skills, including focus, patience, responsibility, determination, and collaboration. There are countless benefits of art in child development, and art continues to provide opportunities for brain development, mastery, self-esteem, and creativity at the elementary school level and beyond.

Mrs. Prieto Sanchez has participated in various exhibitions, including a juried City-Wide Art Show in Florance, Italy. Ms. Prieto Sanchez has also worked as a Technical Illustrator for five years producing reference drawings of footwear and accessories.
