My students have diverse career goals. Part of my job is to illustrate the continuity between various art and design fields, while providing my students with a comprehensive experience in visual literacy, creative problem solving, materials and techniques. Everything that a student learns in art and design is cumulative. Success at intermediate and advanced levels is dependent upon a complete understanding of what art is. My goal is to provide students with a rigorous and supportive environment where they can develop as skilled artists, possessing the self-confidence and critical awareness they need to engage the world in which they live.
