About Mr. Michael Cox

I want to help my students understand, create and love Art!

Art 1 students will learn about the Elements and Principles of Art. Understanding The Elements and Principles of art will give them the tools to create original works. Students will learn tips and techniques that will help them improve as an artist and we will record progress with a sketchbook.

Students will then have the option to continue in future art classes and play with different types of media, such as painting, sculpture, watercolor, pastels and hopefully clay/pottery in the near future. Students will have the opportunity to enter contests and create a portfolio.

I have been a proud Lobo for 18 years during which time I have taught P.E. and Art. I have coached football and I am currently coaching tennis and I am going on my 10th year as Head baseball coach. I was born and raised here in El Paso, TX. I started my education at East Point Elementary School (kindergarten teacher was Mrs. Vidal...lol. I remember them all). I continued on to Eastwood Middle School and then graduated from Eastwood High School.

I went on to study and graduate from Sul Ross State University with Bachelors of Science and a minor in Art! "The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all sciences. (Albert Einstein)."
