art teacher — IL
You will find a few samples of my personal art as well as samples of some of my classroom examples for the purpose of teaching art K-12. I prefer to invent the best lesson plans to broaden student awareness and knowledge of the vast aspects of Art in our everyday lives. My lessons motivate the creative spark as well as include content across the curriculum. A 3-D project, for example, I may marry math and design in planning a blueprint to build models of 'Our House' on the middle school level. An art skill has more value than simply manipulating materials in pleasing compositions as well.
In my personal artistic pursuits, I enjoy painting large acrylic compositions and experimenting with the Adobe Creative Suite. I enjoy juxtaposing various media while expanding my skills. I welcome your comments. :)
