Mr. Mario Tejada – Bilingual Artist & Beloved Art Educator

Mr. Mario Tejada is a bilingual artist with a deep passion for teaching and inspiring creativity in students of all ages. His engaging lessons invite students to explore the fundamental concepts of art—including color, shape, and composition—through hands-on experiences with mixed media.

Known for his vibrant tempera paint and pastel projects, Mr. Mario encourages imagination, creativity, and risk-taking in every session. His classes are more than just art lessons—they’re opportunities for students to grow in confidence and self-expression.

A veteran educator with over 20 years in our program, Mr. Mario teaches across all grade levels and districts in San Joaquin County. His popularity means he books a year in advance and consistently maintains a full waiting list.
