Art is what separates us from other species and makes us human. Our world today would simply not exist without it. It has the power to sell a product, lift our spirits, define a culture, rule a nation, tell a story and change the world. I believe deeply in art education and it gives me great pleasure to teach young children the foundations of art. Developing creativity, fine motor and problem solving skills is critical at such a young age. My students will be given a wide range of media to use – drawing, painting, printmaking, ceramics and sculpture. The experiences they have in my class will help them develop while learning art history and reinforcing other curriculums.
