Grade 6 Watercolor Painting: A work in progress...

6th grade students are using repetition, partial shapes and different views to create a work of art showcasing sunflowers. We are exploring the use of value in color and combining analogous colors in our paintings.

I am so happy to be continuing my journey as an art teacher here in Boxford, MA at Spofford Pond School! As I begin my 16th year teaching art, I am excited to bring with me the knowledge I've gained, as well as to have this opportunity to learn from my new students!

My vision is to create an innovative art program that challenges my students, allows them to express themselves and helps them to be independent thinkers. Taking risks in art is encouraged, as is collaboration, thinking outside the box and trying something new. My classroom is designed to be a calm, safe space where creativity is encouraged and supported. 

If you would like to connect with me I am most easily reached by email at mwinchell@boxfordschools.org. I will try to get back to you as soon as possible. 

I look forward to an amazing year here in Boxford and can't wait to share the student work with you!
