Teaching Art Has Many Perks!

Since 1990 I have been an art teacher. I started teaching high school students when I wasn't much older than my my students. Teaching high school was a wonderful experience filled with many talented students. The energy was undeniable when I began teaching middle school children. But nothing could prepare me for teaching the youngest learners. They are a bundle of lovable energy and their ideas are limitless.

"I can draw a cupcake for life!" said by a kindergartener after learning about artist Wayne Thiebaud.

"Art actually is my life!" said by a first grader when entering class.
