Do you have a particular art medium you like to use in your classroom?
I love having my student paint with tempera paint. The colors are so vivid and students do wonderful with tempera paint.
Having taught for a while now at a variety of grade levels, you must have some interesting stories. Tell us one of the more memorable things that a student has done in one of your classes?
I had a student win a contest in Miami. Part of the contest was to have his art put on a huge billboard. I used to drive by and smile with pride each time I would pass it.
Is there anything you would like to share with your peers?
As the former 2013 – 2014 Cobb County Schools District Excellence In Art Education Elementary School Specialist of the Year, I focus on doing all I can to give the best art education to my students. In March, I will be presenting at the upcoming NAEA Conference in New Orleans. My presentation is called, “There really IS money out there! Creative Classroom Funding Ideas”. Hope to see you there!
