20 years of Art & Design lessons
Essential Understandings that informed a veteran art and design high school art teacher
Art Transforms, Design Matters and Creativity is everywhere!
Developing art curriculum!
Creating art and design curriculum was one of the most creative aspects of being an art educator to me.
Collaborating and sharing ideas!
Collaborating with other Art Teachers was fun, effective and also a big creative release! Developing lessons or units based on a theme or anchor artwork, and help students reach a particular goal, and then, gauge the lessons effectiveness with other teachers can be quite satisfying.
Regularly refining lessons!
Summer, the time to reflect, rework and refine units or lessons. Toss out what didn't work and build on that which did. Keep it fresh for my students and for myself.
Celebrating students creative voice!
Witnessing a student develop their creative voice and find satisfaction in a result, is a joyful experience! This site is a celebration of student work from my art & design classes, 2002 - 2020.
