Welcome to Mrs. Parker's class website
Welcome 2025 incoming students! I am so glad to be working with you this year in AP2D and Printmaking. I hope you find this website to be helpful and full of any resources or information you may be looking for throughout the school year. The class home page can be thought of as a pacing guide for the course. I might add or take away assignments as we go along in the year depending on what I think is necessary.
If there is anything you can not find, just ask or contact me at tessa.parker@sccpss.com. A quick way to message me is through our classroom instagram account @saa.artlove
This year, I will also be using Remind to connect with my students, so make sure to join my remind group (the code for your class in on your syllabus).
A little about me...
A little about me...
I grew up in Savannah, right near Daffin Park, then we moved to Wilmington Island when I was 7 years old. I went to May Howard elementary, Myers Middle, and Johnson High school. I went to Georgia College as an art major and had every intention on transferring to UGA to get a degree in Architecture or Interior design, but I fell in love with GC and decided to stay there all four years. I received my Bachelor of Arts with a focus in Painting and a Minor in Sociology in 2005. I met Mr. Parker my senior year of college and he decided to move back to Savannah with me after college. I started teaching at a small private school (Pre-K- 12th grade art) before I attended SCAD, where I received my Masters in Teaching Art. My first job in public school was at Shuman Elementary, but I wanted the challenge of working with older and more advanced students. I was hired to teach art at the brand new campus of New Hampstead High school when it opened in 2013, where I worked for several years. After having two kids, I took a short break from teaching to focus on family and work part time in Interior Design with a remodeling company. My two years off from teaching gave me the chance to explore my love of interior design and get back into painting and commission work. In 2019 I returned to teaching Art. I got a job at Johnson High School, rebuilding the IB Art program and wearing many hats as the IB Art, 2D, 3D, Drawing, Painting, and Sculpture teacher. This led me to Savannah Arts Academy in 2021! I paint a lot in my free time and I hope that students see me as a working artist and educator. This teaches those who want to make art professionally in their future how to do so.
