My Students

My students are a passionate, diverse group of artists with a multitude of interests. From anime lovers to history buffs, an amazing variety of art comes out of this classroom! We are all about student choices of mediums, subjects, processes, and presentations. These kids are always looking for new art methods to try!

My Project

We have a choice-based curriculum here in our small-town district. With small class sizes, I can give the kids the differentiation they want and need in the visual arts. We have limited options here for creating digital art, and a need to get up to speed with the digital art culture that grows around us. These iPads and Pencils will greatly increase the students' experiences with digital art software used by professionals all over the world. With some new technology, some of my students may launch a career in graphic design!
