ART has been instrumental in my life for a very long time. As far back as I can remember art has been on my mind practically every day. As my personal art experience was built, I was drawn to art education in schools. I have been involved with public art education for 35+ years as a 4th grade teacher, I integrated art into every subject taught every day. Art was a healthy part of my students’ curriculum.
At this time in my life, I am wishing to share all of this experience with teachers to help them integrate art into their own classrooms. This program was designed to help teachers, veteran and new, to apply art into core curriculum – science, social studies, math, and ELA – without stress or intimidation because of their inexperience in the arts. The easy-to-follow lesson plans and guiding videos make the experience for teachers new to the arts to implement without pain every day!
Listed below is an accumulation of my experience and education in the arts over the years. The list is varied and rich and is the experience that has drawn me to this point in my life.
