Peggy Cleary ~ M.A.T. Visual Art. I am honored to guide our young artists in developing critical thinking skills in and through Art. Students will develop skills, methods, and techniques to create visually in Art while incorporating core subject matter. Design and critical thinking happens in a Project Based Learning (PBL) format which is planned to be engaging and challenging for all students. I believe in developing visual literacy skills which enhance the communication of knowledge within the visual arts and allows students to "show what they know" in creative, inventive, mindful ways they can be proud of. I look forward to working with our students this year in the Art Studio at Castle Hayne. Ms. Peggy Cleary :0)
