Office Hours: 10am-2pm  M-Th   Please click on the Virtual Art Room during office hours or call.  I love to talk with people real-time rather than e-mailing back and forth, but I'll take those too.   

(Contact info and helpful links are also at the bottom of all my e-mail.)

 

SchoolCenter Picture      I love helping students develop their creative minds.  Show me your work in progress or let me help you get started by visiting  the virtual art room with web cam or photo. You'll get a quick critique on what you are doing well and how to improve or move forward if you're stuck.  (You may e-mail art too. - just not as interactive)

  Completed art may be loaded to the school gallery through Artsonia where teacher, family and friends can see and make kind, helpful comments. You may even win thestudent artist spotlight on this website's homepage.

I've been teaching for over ten years at various grade levels and studied art in  Europe and Latin America . I am always  looking for unique ways to reach students which is probably what lead me to the virtual edge.  :-) 

I have taken photo students to a hot air balloon glow at night, had students travel with me abroad and have designed Montessori art tools for young children. 

I believe that everyone has a creative capacity and that the development of it
will help their overall joy of learning and enrich their lives.

For security purposes, times are listed in the password protected calendar area & names are blocked in class recordings.
   

STUDIO/Waiting room: While appointments are encouraged, it's ok if you enter while I am teaching.  You can request the studio room in the chat box window without interrupting class and I will come join you after class.  Minimize the classroom window and you can work on other things while you wait. 

New LVS students will recieve a password to the calendar through Monday e-mail.  The calendar shows when classtimes and workshops are held.  Once inside the calendar, there is a Virtual Art Room button for quick access and an e-mail/send art button for your convenience.  Click the Recorded Sessions button to see how it all works.

 

GET ART ACTIVE!   It's good for your brain!
I encourage parents to do their own art beside their children rather than just helping. 
Discover and teach life-long creativity.
