Hello! My name is Marcia and I am here along with you on this journey of teaching art!
I’ve taught art since 2002 at mostly the elementary level, but also in middle school (for 3 1/2 years). I have taught in both public and private schools. I’ve been a day camp coordinator, written for magazines and spent many years as a waitress.
I have been blogging since 2010! My other hobbies include: watercolor, collage & art journaling, collecting books, stickers, vintage ephemera. I love dogs, hamsters and Hello Kitty. I recently have gotten into listening to podcasts!
I love to share my experiences and tips I have learned along the way through lots of trial and error. And believe me, there have been many errors! I love creating resources to help other teachers and it has been so rewarding to share my art ideas with other art teachers for the past 14 years on my blog. I am always just an email away and will do my best to help you with what you are looking for.
My goals are:
● to provide easy-to-implement and engaging art lessons for your classroom.
● to share a balanced curriculum
● incorporate a variety of media and techniques
● teach about a wide range of artists throughout time and around the world
● to explore important art concepts, often connecting to other subjects.
● to encourage creativity and personal expression by incorporating students’ interests
● to have fun learning about art!
