My Project

I'm very blessed that all my students come to art class excited and ready to learn! I love teaching them about both new and old artists and introducing them to all kinds of mediums. They have so much fun coloring in my class, and I try to create lessons that serve their needs. I especially love it when I see them adding their own personal touches to their artwork. It shows me they are very excited about learning.

My students find art class to be so calming and comforting.

Art is the one subject that allows them to solve problems creatively, and I find that this makes all students feel so good inside. Art has never been more important in helping students to express themselves freely. I absolutely love watching my students grow as artists over the years and seeing how the experiences I gave them kept them engaged in the learning process! Art is just magical!
