Art

 I am currently a certified NYS Visual Art Teacher. In addition to the art education I gained at Stony Brook University as an awarded graduate of the Studio Art BA program in 2013, my professional career has enabled me to share my love of creating and analyzing art with others in a teaching role. Through the school where I began teaching elementary education, A Renaissance School of Arts and Sciences, I gained a working understanding of the principles of foundational art education for children. Art and project-based learning appears often in each of the subject areas I teach, exhibiting my strong background in utilizing art as a tool to engage students in meaningful applications of their learning. In order to build a stronger connection between learners and subject area, I believe in using hands-on, sensory and creative tools. My art classroom focuses on building skills and enabling children to express themselves while growing as observers of themselves and their surrounding world.
