My Project

I have been an educator for 20 years, over the last two years I took on the challenge of becoming an elementary art teacher. Though I love art, I do not have the proper training and knowledge to help my students grow in technique and skill. These courses would help me, my students and my whole art program to grow with skill and knowledge in art. Art is a life long outlet, that I am happy to encourage and help develop for each and every student in my class. Art allows for mindfulness, relaxation, calmness and helps to increase focus, and with the craziness of the world today I will do all I can to help our students find their 'safe channel' for calm.
