Mrs. Lauren Heller

The fine arts are part of the richness and joy of living. We live in a world full of images--paintings, sculptures, TV, computers, advertisements, etc., all of which have messages to be interpreted. Studying fine arts helps develop the ability to recognize and express the meanings in those messages. The main reasons for taking fine arts in school are: 1) to learn to think creatively, critically and independently, 2) to learn more about our own culture and the cultures of others, and 3) to develop the ability to recognize and express ideas.

I have received my Bachelor's of Science Education degree in Art Education, and my Bachelor's of Fine Art degree in Studio Painting at the University of Central Missouri. I am also a District Representative for the Missouri Art Education Association and the president of CTA here at Lawson.
