I love \u00a0painting, printmaking, mixed media, ceramics, and most any art or design challenge! <\/span><\/p>\n I\u2019ve been teaching art for the past six years in a variety of \u00a0roles. I\u2019ve worked as a teaching artist with Education for the Arts in partnership with \u00a0Kalamazoo public schools, a post-baccalaureate fellow managing the Kalamazoo College community art studio, and a youth hand-building ceramics instructor with Pewabic Pottery. \u00a0Most recently, I taught art at Hutchinson@Howe Elementary -Middle School in Detroit. I am excited to get to know all of my William Ford students and families and make some amazing art together!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Art Focus<\/b><\/p>\n This year we will explore drawing, painting, printmaking, mixed media, as well as a variety of sculptural methods, such as ceramics and paper mache. Together we will explore big ideas in art and design, access our creative thinking, try new art techniques and materials, talk and write about art, explore contemporary and historical artists, and learn how to be part of a group art studio.<\/span><\/p>\n Our visual arts curriculum will follow the National Core Arts Standards: <\/span>Creating, Presenting, Responding, and Connecting.
