Kevin Ferney

Welcome to Art!

My name is Mr. Ferney and I am the Art teacher for The Villages Charter Middle School at Buffalo Ridge. I am in my fourth year of teaching at VCS and I bring with me several years of education and work experience. I hold an undergraduate degree in Fine Art with an emphasis in Printmaking and a technical certification in Graphic Design. I also have multiple years of experience in Ceramics and Photography. I am passionate about multiple art forms and have an equal passion for enriching the lives of students in a way that will help to make them well-rounded people. My hope is to make a positive connection with the families of my students and I am excited to meet everyone. Just as much as I love helping others learn, I love learning from them as well. I look forward to seeing my students grow and growing more with them.

Field Trips

We will be taking two field trips with students this year:

All 8th Grade and select 7th Grade Art students will have the opportunity to visit Fine Arts museums in St. Petersburg towards the end of Semester 1 (location and dates TBD).

 All 6th Grade and select 7th and 8th Grade Art students will have the opportunity to visit the Harn Museum of Art at The University of Florida in March/April (dates TBD).

PARENTS: Please let me know if you would like to be a chaperone for either or both of these trips!

Art Contests/Exhibits

There are multiple art contest/exhibition opportunities for students to take part in throughout the school year and every student is encouraged to create and submit work. More information will be given to students as we approach the date for each.
