AES Art Syllabus

Students of art will be creating, presenting, responding, and connecting through artworks, art genres, and art techniques. Over the course of the year, they will develop a more technical understanding of art (line, form, color, shape, texture, and space) and engage in analyzing art by looking, finding, and practicing these techniques in various art works. Through this continual intentional practice, students develop visual literacy skills that ultimately improve their aesthetic, cultural, and intellectual experiences.

About Me

At present, I am the K-2 AES art teacher! Having earned both my BFA and master's degree at the University of Tennessee, I am excited to be practicing my love of art within the community. While earning my degree, I had the opportunity to assist with teaching all grades, K-12, at several schools within the Knoxville and Maryville districts, which has shown me the value of art in and around Knoxville. As I continue to use these learned skills as an educator, my goal is to inspire my students to express themselves through the visual arts, using it as a medium of communication and learning. As students learn about the important techniques of the visual arts, they can become more adept at using the art making process as one form of educational liberation. I am extremely passionate about all aspects of art from drawing, painting, printmaking, clay, sculpture, found-object art, photography and more. When I engage in an art form, I often find that drawings and paintings will mimic my personal experiences as well as my fascination with mundane, ordinary objects and scenes. I hope my students will too.
