My friend Lillian sent me the link to an awesome art group online. Milliande has tons of free tutorials and she is starting a daily art journal prompt for 2011. I did the first 2 days and I'll see how I can keep up while I'm working ! It's fun to see how many different ways artists can take a theme. Check it out and maybe you'll want to join us!
I have a degree in Child Development and have been teaching for 25 years. Most of these years have been spent with second graders with the exception of 4 years in first grade. I love introducing my students to the joy of reading "chapter books" and the language of literature.
I am a mixed-media artist and am lucky to be teaching at a fine arts magnet school. I use music and visual art every day in my classroom.
I have been married for 29 years and my husband teaches High School English. I have raised 4 wonderful kids and am still working on the yellow labs that live in our house.
