Meet Your Art Teacher

Hi I'm Mrs. Youssef, I am so excited for this school year! I have been teaching art for 4 years and absolutely I love my job! We are going to create many creative projects and we will learn about different artists. Our projects are fun, interesting, and challenging which will capture your interest. I love the controlled chaos of the art room and I love spreading my passion for art to others! My goal is to teach you art techniques and learn about art history.

Here is a little bit about me…

I was born in Cairo, Egypt. I have two boys, my older son is in the army and my other son is in 6th grade. I like to paint and listen to music. My favorite colors are yellow and turquoise.

Education

I graduated from New Jersey City University in 2013 with a Bachelor degree in Fine Arts with a Sculpture major and I have a Bachelor degree in Foreign Language with a translation major in 2006 from Cairo University, Cairo, Egypt. Also, I am a certified ESL teacher.

Teaching Experience

I teach Visual Art at Berkeley and Franklin School. I worked as a Paraprofessional at Clifton Public Schools from 2012 to 2013.

I am looking forward for another creative year in the art room!
