Hey Blanton Knights! I am your friendly, neighborhood art teacher, Miss Valenta. I have been teaching elementary art for 6 years and I have loved every moment of it! I graduated from Texas A&M University (WHOOP!) with a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies with an emphasis in Early Childhood through 8th grade. I later added my Art Certification to teach Early Childhood through 12th grade. Most of my family live in the North Texas area. My mom and dad still live in my childhood home and my brother, sister and I love visiting them every chance we can get. I have three nephews and one niece on the way. I love Texas A&M, the Texas Rangers, and traveling to Italy (it's my favorite place in the world). My favorite type of art making is sculpture, mainly ceramics. I am excited to learn more about yours!
