Welcome to Art with Mrs. French

We Are Art Smart!

Howard Gardner, Ph.D., professor at Harvard University, first identified seven different kinds of intelligence in his classic book Frames of Mind. His theory has challenged assumptions about intelligence and learning and deeply influenced the path of education in the United States.

Gardner identifies Spatial intelligence as the ability to "think in pictures," to perceive the visual world accurately, and recreate (or alter) it in the mind or on paper. Spatial intelligence is highly developed in artists, architects, designers and sculptors. When we create art, thinking and acting to increase and develop our spatial intelligence, we become Art Smart!

About me

Julie French

I started my career in advertising as a graphic designer working with some very interesting businesses and non-profits. Click here to see some of that work. After taking time off to start a family, I wanted to combine my two loves — children and art. I'm now in my eighth year teaching art and I love it! My students' creativity amazes me every day, they are a joy to work with.

Pop Art Reverse Painting

DateSaturday, June 27, 2015 at 7:56AM

Students began this project by taking a photo of themselves or a favorite subject. After the photo was outlined on a sheet of acetate, they painted on the reverse side using water-based oil paint. Students were exposed to the differences between oil and acylic paints,  and how colors and layering are effected by reverse painting.
