Our Art Students Learn The Principals Of Art And Interesting Things In Art History . . .
Students in Pre-K and Kindergarten develop their fine motor skills by focusing on project which concentrate on using scissors, paper folding, glueing and coloring. They listen to stories then use their imaginations to create art.
Students in grades 1 and 2 learn about the elements of art which include line, shape, texture, form, space, color and value. Famous artists are introduced so that the students may better understand art production.
Students in grades 3, 4 & 5 are introduced to the principals of art which include balance, proportion, unity, harmony, variety, emphasis, rhythm and movement. Famous artists and art movements are discussed. Students are encouraged to use their creativity and imagination when procucing art.
Students in grades 6, 7 and 8 incorporate all aspects of the elements and principals of art when creating their artwork. Students explore art from all over the world. Virtual museum tours help to introduce students to a variety of artwork of diverse cultures.

My name is Maria Murphy . . .
I graduated from St.John's University with a BFA in Fine Arts. I worked as an intern at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in its Uris Education Center. The first part of my career was spent in the advertising field. For 9 years, I worked as a graphic designer for an Advertising Agency service studio. My love for Art led me to Queens College where I earned my Masters Degree in Art Education. This will be my 26th year teaching. Throughout my teaching career, I have taught both Art and Spanish. The 2019-2020 school year was my first here at Notre Dame, but I have been a parishoner of this parish for 23 years. In fact, both of my children were products of a wonderful Notre Dame education. I love my ND family.
We are #NotreDameStrong -
