I have been married to my husband for 12 years and have identical twin boys
that were born in February 2009. I absolutly LOVE being a Mommy.
I graduated college with a BA in studio art from the University of Texas at
Dallas. I continually practice art in my personal life with the subject
matter of whatever my current life events might be. I have taught art for
eight years in the public schools and still enjoy every minute of it.
The mission in my art class is that Art is about PROBLEM SOLVING. An artist
is presented with an idea or problem, then the artist tries to figure out how
to make it work. My teaching strategy is just this,I present the
idea/problem to the students and then let them figure out how to execute
THEIR OWN IDEAS to resolve the problem. THIS IS A LIFE SKILL to be used in
every dimension of a person's life.
I believe each one of us is a creative individual and my role as a teacher is
to help each child realize their potential in the area of art. My motto in
class is that There are no Mistakes in Art; instead you take what you have
created and make it into something else.
Many great artists’ best accomplishments were from an idea
that they thought was a “mistake”. What we need to realize as individuals is
that this thought process is the beginning of a great idea, and I eagerly
look forward to encouraging your child to succeed with their creative ideas.
