About Me.

During the year, students will be active participants in the journey of art making. We will be “traveling through the World of Art” with our sketchbooks acting as a “road map” to the ultimate destination of a work of art. In the classroom, the art of history will be examined for its connection to the person or people who created it. Art included technical skills that can be learned—so, if you think, “I’m not good at Art,” you’ve come to the right place!
My belief is that art goes beyond pencils, paint, or clay and extends into all aspects of life. Art is more than just a means for students to express themselves; Art is an opportunity to expand critical and creative thinking, to make connections with other aspects of school and the world. I look forward to an exciting year of creativity! EDUCATION
