Ms. Erika Adelman

Parents and Families:

Welcome to Valley Vista High School’s “Meet the Teacher Night.” Thank you for attending this evening. My goal is to tell you all a little about myself, describe a typical day in art class, and outline the curriculum your student will study this year.

A little bit about Ms. Adelman. I have a Bachelors in Fine Arts from ASU and a Masters in Education Leadership from NAU. This will be my 9th year as a Monsoon and have been teaching art for over 25 years. When I am not at Valley, I am busy being a mom, running a small paint business or finding a fun adventure.

My current teaching schedule:

P. 1 AP Art and Art 5-6

P. 2. Painting 1-2, 3-4
