My name is Olivia Sanchez, and I am very excited to be a part of this great school community.

I teach visual arts to students in K through 5th grade. My goal is to make the visual arts room a place where students can discover and explore their natural talents and creative potential. Students will learn to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills, as well as a positive self-image and a respect for others.

The art program is based on the Loudoun County Public Schools’ Art Standards of Achievement (SOAs). Students meet once a week for 50 minutes. During that time, students are instructed on studio process, personal expression, visual arts vocabulary, art production, art history, art criticism, and aesthetics. A variety of tools and mediums will be used, including painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpting, collage, and ceramics. Students will also learn about world-famous artists, art movements, and art from different cultures.

I look forward to seeing what students will create this year in Visual Arts. Please call or email me if you have any questions or concerns at Olivia.Sanchez@lcps.org.
