Welcome to the Pathfinder Tech Art Department! This elective is celebrating its 3rd year being an elective for upperclassmen students. So far, students have enjoyed a multitude of creative projects in design and drawing and painting as well as projects with community engagement in mind. We have a beautiful studio space and lots of really great materials to work with! Art is such a wonderful way for students to express themselves and also a nice change of pace in the day during their busy academic week. It is great to see all of the talent and newly learned skills on a daily basis taking place in the studio.
This is my 28th year of teaching studio art to high school students. I love making watercolor cards in my spare time for family, friends and colleagues. Art has always been part of my life and I love seeing my students become so proud of what they are capable of when they have the opportunity to try a studio art class. Every day is a new adventure and every day it is amazing to see student projects come to life!
