ABOUT ME: I just LOVE teaching art! I have been teaching Art privately and professionally for
the past 9 years. I graduated from Southern Utah University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Art and
a minor in Interior Design. I also LOVE photography, basketball, volleyball, outdoors, watersports
and spending time with my two adorable daughters. I am so looking forward to seeing what your
students imaginations create in this amazing class! I am thrilled to be a Central Davis CUB!
My goal as a teacher:
1.
2.
3.
To provide students with a positive learning environment that is interesting and challenging.
To increase students understand of the visual arts and express their own imagination.
I believe our imagination is the important part of the creative process, it is very important that ART is
still a DISCIPLINE and like other subjects in school, it requires effort, time, desire and practice.
CURRICULUM:
We will be creating many varieties of 3-D art in this class; including sculptures, painting, collage and much
more! I am excited to use many different mediums, textures and materials. Famous artists will be also be
introduced.

REWORKING an Assignment: Because the goal of this class is to increase skills, it can be to the
student’s advantage to redo or adjust an assignment. INCOMPLETE OR LATE WORK will NOT be
eligible for this option. It is the responsibility of the student to ask the teacher for this
privilege, and a new due date will be determined. Due dates cannot extend beyond the end of
the term or semester.
Late work: Can receive up to 60% of the total grade. If you are absent you will get 2 days
for every 1 you are gone, this must be done at home as homework.
