Who are our Art Teachers?

VITO CANNIZZARO

CHS ART TEACHER

20 Years at CHS

I strive to offer a comprehensive art program that encompasses the connection to, and the reflection, creation, and presentation of Art. Through a variety of media exploration and new skills, my students find a way to express themselves creatively with the Art they make.

AMANDA VELLA

CHS ART TEACHER

1 Year CHS

I believe everyone can benefit from making, building and creating. Art can be whatever you need it to be: a stress reliever, a place to question, explore, or make mistakes. I encourage my students to play with materials and experiment with mixing media while sharing their thought processes.

BIL ALBRIGHT

CMS ART TEACHER

13 YEARS

I believe in helping each student find their individual voice when creating original works of art.

I foster an environment that encourages students to attempt new skills, develop creative problem solving strategies, grow as artists by using reflective practices, and share their abilities with their community as a whole.

HANNAH TERRACINO

I strive to foster creativity, model respect, and create an environment where all students feel welcome and valued.

KAIT JEWETT

PORTERS/UNION ART TEACHER

1 year at PPS/UMS

I believe art class should be a safe space to create, explore, and play. My job is to be a role model and encourage students to question the way they look at the world of art - sometimes that even means having dance parties during class.
