Elementary Art 

My goal as an elementary art teacher is to present students with the fundamental building blocks upon which all art is based. These building blocks include all the art elements of line, shape, color, texture, form, and space; they include a general knowledge of art history and proper usage of all art room materials as well as the natural progression of complexity of the material. The most important goal that I strive for is the appreciation and love for the visual arts. I want all students to walk away from this program knowing these principles of art and having an appreciation for art.

Feel free to contact me anytime by phone or e-mail if you have any questions or concerns!
