Juliana Wynn
Art Teacher
Art is for everyone! My name is Julianna Wynn and I am so happy to be your child’s art teacher at Bell. My goal as an art teacher is to help every student discover their own abilities and creativity with excitement and confidence. It is important to me that students understand their artwork is unique and should not be compared to anyone else’s artwork to judge success. By nurturing talents and making connections between art and the core subject areas I hope to build each child’s understanding of themselves, their education and the world around them.
Teaching Your Students About Art is a Good Idea.

-
It's been proven that early exposure to visual art, music, or drama promotes activity in the brain.
-
Art helps children understand other subjects much more clearly—from math and science, to language arts and geography.
-
Art nurtures inventiveness as it engages children in a process that aids in the development of self-esteem, self-discipline, cooperation, and self-motivation.
-
Participating in art activities helps children to gain the tools necessary for understanding human experience, adapting to and respecting others' ways of working and thinking, developing creative problem-solving skills, and communicating thoughts and ideas in a variety of ways.
Why is Art Education Important?
The National PTA and
The Getty Center for Education in the Arts
Art is essential to learning - not just an educational frill. Learning about the visual arts gives students a window onto the rich and interesting world around them, teaching them about their own history and culture, as well as those of other people. It cultivates self-expression, imagination and creativity as well as critical-thinking and problem-solving skills. Students who learn about art develop their capacities to weigh meanings and make evaluations and judgments. Understanding and making art can teach students how to work cooperatively in groups and how to work hard to achieve a goal. The development of all of these skills and attributed not only makes students better learners but it also helps students feel good about themselves - it builds self-esteem.
