Mission Statement

My desire for each of my students is that you will grow in your personal abilities and talents. This year, I will provide you with a variety of activities and experiences to educate in you in the visual arts. One of my main goals for you is that you gain the ability to appreciate art of all kinds through the understanding of design elements and principles. I look forward to working with each one of you as you seek to improve your ability in and understanding of visual arts.
