My name is Debbie Robinson, and I am the Harts Bluff elementary art teacher.  After 25 years of teaching junior high language arts at Harts Bluff, I have really enjoyed the transition to art. I have now been teaching art for 10 years. This year I will work solely with K-5. The Harts Bluff students are very creative, and I am amazed at what they are able to do. When I hear "Can we stay here all day?” or when they bring me drawings from home, I know I'm doing something great. I firmly believe that students need the arts.

 In each project we will study the basic art elements and principles of design. Students will also learn art vocabulary, art history, and learn about many classic and contemporary artists.

     My goal is to have a fun class where every child can relax and express himself creatively.  I want each student to realize that everyone's work is equally good -- just different.

We had a very successful year in spite of the pandemic! This year our elementary art students had over 1500 artworks published on Artsonia.com. You can view all of their work by going to Artsonia.com and write Harts Bluff Elementary in the search bar. Artsonia is an online student art portfolio that stores art for kids around the world.  I’m rather partial to ours. Our kids are the greatest!
