As a graduate from Tyler School of Art at Temple University with a B.S. in Art Education, I come to SS Simon and Jude with fresh ideas about art’s role in student growth. At Temple, I received the Jane D. Bonelli Art Education Award for my student teaching experience with the School District of Philadelphia, and I earned my Pennsylvania Art K-12 Certification. I have a strong background in sculpture, drawing, printmaking and ceramics, but painting is my specialty. I look forward to integrating technology and other core subjects into art class and introducing students to multiple artistic mediums.

WELCOME TO ART CLASS

Art class is about learning and giving students the opportunity to express their creativity. Students will be introduced to different artists and their art styles so that they can develop an appreciation for art. “Hands On” projects will extend their learning while teaching them how to use a variety of art materials. Lower grade students will work on developing their fine motor skills. Upper grade students will apply the elements of art and composition to their artwork and learn how to critique artwork in a positive manner.
