I believe a good teacher provides knowledge about their subject matter in a way that transfers a passion to the student to want to learn more about that subject and how it relates to all aspects of their life. My greatest challenge, as an art teacher, is to take a student, who tells me that they are only in my class to mark it off the required list for graduation, and bring them to a new self discovery. This may be realizing their hidden art talent or simply stimulating art appreciation. Either way, it is exciting. 

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have. 
Have a great day!
