Denton ISD Fine Arts is committed to empowering artistic growth in every student every day. My aim as your visual arts teacher is to help you grow in your creativity, critical thinking ability, and problem solving capability. I believe that the greatest value of arts education is empowering students to think for themselves and make their own way in the world.
About me
My name is Joshua Ward; I'm an artist and educator. I have lived, taught, and exhibited both internationally and domestically. This is my 15th year teaching art. In that time I have worked with students from diverse cultures and backgrounds, ranging in age from 1st grade all the way up to college undergraduates. I hold an MFA from the University of Houston where I studied Studio Art. In my own studio practice I am interested in re-contextualization and multi-media approaches to artmaking. I work in variety of materials and techniques including the pre-existing, sound, words, drawing, composition, sewing and more.
