Welcome to Blackhawk Intermediate School Art!  I am Ms. Peterson.  This is my twenty eighth year of teaching students.  I currently teach grades Kindergarten through Fourth Grade at Blackhawk Intermediate School. My goal in art class is not to make everyone draw like Leonardo Da Vinci but to have every individual do their personal best and develop an appreciation for art.  I strive to develop creative thinkers in the art classroom.  I use a discipline based program that weaves together art history, art production, critical thinking and aesthetic skills.  Students use a wide variety of materials in the process including clay, colored pencil, pastel, oil pastel, and paint.  

 


 If you have any questions about art class please do not hesitate to contact me.

They also use them when looking at an x ray.   A auto mechanic must use them in order to figure out what isn't happening in an engine. This is a picture of my son Johnny's shark slipper that I drew by observing it.  Practice using your observation skills to observe yours or someone in your family's slipper.  As you observe it draw it on a paper scan it or take a photo of it and email it to Ms. Peterson at [email protected] please put slipper as the subject.

Mrs. Murtha is originally from Pittsburgh, PA.  I love to go to museums, Pirate games, Steeler Games, and Penguin Hockey games.  It is a beautiful city.  Click on the word "Pittsburgh" below.  It will take you to website of the photographer JP Diroll.  If you scroll down there are many free coloring pages that you can print.  Print a page, color it, and then send me a picture of it through email with a subject of Color Pittsburgh.  You can email it to [email protected]
