About Mr. Moroney:

This will be my 9th year teaching I have taught at the elementary level, middle school and high school level. My focus of art has predominantly been printmaking, drawing, and ceramics. I really enjoy doing art inside and outside of school and most of my time in spent drawing or doing ceramics. In my teaching it is my hope that students gain the basic stills to create works of art and express themselves and their thoughts.
