I have worked the past 6 years as a part time art teacher, filling in for maternity sub positions and long term sub positions. I have traveled at different times between GHS, GMSS, and GMSN. I have developed a variety of solutions to optimize my time in each classroom so as to work effectively with the art teacher already in the classroom, and be respectful of their space. I am a very easy person to work with and I enjoy getting to know the staff at each school.
With more than 12 years of teaching experience in a variety of settings, I am adept in classroom instruction, development of lesson plans, and curriculums. I have created assessments, and adjusted lessons for a variety of student learning styles. My classroom experience includes teaching Independent Study, AP Art, Ceramics, Drawing, Painting, and Sculpture. I have also sponsored Art Club and National Art Honor Society. While I do have a solid teaching foundation in the school system, I am also a working professional artist who teaches private art lessons from my home. I have a passion for art that enables me to be skilled in several mediums including ceramics, photography, painting, and mixed media. All art regardless of medium is about the composition. I fully understand composition and it’s significance in art. For that reason, I am able to convey to my students the importance of creativity and originality in their compositions as well as how to gain technical skill of the materials.
