I am thrilled to introduce myself as your child’s art teacher for the upcoming academic year at Dulles Elementary. My name is Mrs. Nivedita Sharma, and I am so excited to embark on another wonderful year of creativity and artistic exploration with your children.

With 18 years of experience teaching art—eight of those right here at Dulles Elementary—I have had the joy of watching many young artists grow in their confidence and skills. I hold a postgraduate degree in Fine Arts, with a specialization in ceramic art, and I am a certified art educator. This foundation allows me to bring a wide range of techniques, media, and cultural influences into our art curriculum.

Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my family and engaging in creative hobbies like painting, scrapbooking, and photography. I also love practicing yoga and traveling, which gives me fresh inspiration and a deeper understanding of global art and traditions—something I love sharing with my students.

Throughout the year, students will explore a variety of art materials, styles, and artists. My goal is to nurture their creativity, critical thinking, and self-expression in a positive, encouraging environment.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns. I look forward to a year full of imagination, discovery, and artistic growth!
