The Art Room with Ms. Sierra Sirk

🎨 Welcome to the Art Room!

Hi! My name is Ms. Sierra, and I am Flower Hill’s art teacher!

In the art room, my goal is to create a comfortable, creative, and inspiring space where students can explore a variety of materials, techniques, and ideas.

👕 Dress for a Mess
Every day in art brings new adventures, and often, a little mess! Whether we are painting, working with clay, or trying out new materials, students should come prepared to get a bit messy on their art day.

🖌️ Grading in Art
While art is open to interpretation and all students can succeed by putting their creative foot forward, visual arts are graded using four key measurement topics:

  • Creating
  • Performing & Presenting
  • Responding
  • Connecting

Each project allows students to explore all of these areas in meaningful ways. For more details, you can visit the MCPS Visual Arts Curriculum Page.

🖼️ Student Artwork
Projects are usually sent home once completed (about once a month). Occasionally, I may hold onto certain pieces for exciting opportunities such as county art shows, school displays, or community events. If your child’s work is selected, I will always notify home.
