Hello I am Mr. Markiecki

Posted on by Dan Markiecki

Hello all,

I am Dan Markiecki the new Art teacher at Stem/ Ace.  This is my first year with Dearborn and I am very excited to share my knowledge and abilities.

“Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.” Edgar Degas

I would like each student to have a sketch book this will act as a journal/ skill practice book for the students to draw images and designs of their own choice.  There are two styles of sketch books, glue bound and ring bound, I prefer the metal ring over glue, the glue breaks down and pages begin to fall out.  The sketch book will be used as a grade in our class.  Do not get a large one you will be fine with one thats around 9″ x 12″. They usually are on sale for $3-$9 depending on where you go.

these are some examples you do not need to buy these, any style or brand will work fine. I have even seen some at dollar stores.

Thank you have a wonderful weekend and holiday.

I have been an artist for over 25 years, my main focus has been in illustration and comic art style. I have been teaching for 5 years, I have my degrees from Wayne State University both in BFA( Bachelor of Fine and Preforming Arts, and a MAT( Masters of Art and Teaching) . I believe that art can close the gap in communication where words can't be spoken art takes over. The success and exploration art allows students to achieve breeds confidence and joy that will carry over to other aspects in life.
