Visual Arts
The art program at CCES is aligned with National and State Art Education Standards. The effects of the art program do not end in the classroom, but extend into the personal and academic development of each student. Students also develop the ability to concentrate, consider various points of view, problem solve, think creatively, work as a member of a team, and persevere in a task.
"When a child studies the arts, significant elements of his or her education find focus and expression." Excerpt: Growing Up Complete.

I graduated from Carnegie Mellon University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree and the University of Virginia with a Master of Teaching. I have been teaching for over twenty-five years, first as a special education teacher and then as an art teacher. I am dedicated to creating a learning space where students work collaboratively to find their individual style. |
