Overview

Art has many definitions. It means different things to different people. I define Art as:

"The documentation and the perpetuation of a shared culture that culminates as one of highest expressions of the human experience. "
Documentation is the process of classifying and providing information that serves as a record. Perpetuation is the continuation or preservation of an idea or concept. Culture is the customs, arts, social institutions, and achievements shared by a particular nation, people, or other social group. When something Culminates, it has reached point of highest development.
So Art is a record of the continual development of human culture and is the highest form of human expression.

Each of your Art Classes will be utilizing Google Classroom. You will be required to submit all your completed work as photos to the Classroom. Please refer to the in class documentation to know what Google Classroom you should join. This should be an interesting and informative quarter. Remember to try your best!

About Me

Hello, I am Mr. Turner. Over the last five years I have had the pleasure of teaching Visual Art to all children in grades K-9 at Roseville Elementary, Philo Junior High and the Franklin Local Community School. The 2022-23 school year will mark my first year here at PJH in a full-time capacity, so to many of you, I am a familiar face. I want to extend to you and your child my warmest welcome into my classroom. I am very excited about working with your child!

This is my fifth year teaching with Franklin Local, prior to that I taught for four years with ECOT (Electronic Classroom of Tomorrow.) I am a graduate of Muskingum University. I am married and have a son.

In the Overview section, you can find my definition of Art. This definition of art guides my belief that is best expressed by the following quote:

“All children are born artists, the problem is to remain an artist as we grow up.” — Pablo Picasso.

Another quotes that guides my life is:

"Wonder is the desire for knowledge." — Thomas Aquinas
