Middle School Visual Art

A great art and design education inspires and challenges students, equipping them with the skills to experiment, create, and grow as artists. As they progress, students gain the ability to think critically about art, explore its impact on history and culture, and understand its role in shaping creativity and the economy.

I have 10 years of experience teaching middle school art, including serving as Art and Design Coordinator for Key Stage 3 at Durham Johnston Comprehensive School in England, where I led curriculum planning and assessment for a team of four. I currently teach middle school art at Orange Middle School in North Carolina.

Mindfulness and Art

Exercises focus on the process of creating rather than the outcome on the page.
