This is my nineteenth year teaching Visual Art and my twelfth year at CHS. I teach Art I, Art II, Art III, AP 2D Art and Design, and AP Drawing. I obtained a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Austin Peay State University and a Master of Education from Tennessee State University. I am a former Peace Corps Volunteer having served for two years as a TEFL (Teacher of English as a Foreign Language) in a college preparatory high school in Poland.

Welcome to Visual Art. I am excited about the new school year and eager to watch students grow and succeed in class. Building positive student-teacher relationships, a cooperative, safe and good learning environment are a priority for me. I cannot do this alone; students are part of the equation. Students can actively help create a positive experience and supportive community by upholding our class values, following expectations and procedures, and encouraging classmates to do the same. 

Required Materials for Class

Students are required to have the following supplies for class. Materials can be found at Walmart for as little as $5.00 - $9.00 per item. There is a place on the parent/guardian letter to notate if students are unable to provide them. In this case, materials will be made available to students.

Art I students need to have

  • Wooden pencils
  • Earbuds or headphones for assignments that require audio/video on students’ computer.
  • Sketchbook is optional

Art II, III, and AP Art students need to have

  • Wooden pencils
  • Acrylic paintbrushes - Purchase a variety brush set of Royal Langnickel or another brand.
