Before getting into all the art class info, I am Laura Gruetzmacher. This is my fifth school year teaching art for OAVL. I was hired in 2020 to offer a series of in-person elective art classes for Odyssey students. These were scheduled to start the same week we entered covid lockdown. I was asked to pivot my plan to virtual art classes, which was a learning curve, but in turn, grew into what is now the Odyssey art program. I have truly enjoyed my time teaching and learning within the OAVL community as it continues to grow. I live in Ripon with my two kids, two cats, and a dog. When I'm not teaching or making art, I enjoy gardening, cooking, reading, and yoga.
