About the Teacher

I am very excited to begin my 17th year teaching at Mendham Township Elementary. I live in High Bridge New Jersey with my husband and son. We love to travel to the Cape May and to the Adirondack Mountains. But, our favorite thing to do is spend time with our family and friends. It is my personal goal to be a creativity coach for my students. Their ideas are the true currency in the Art room. My classroom door is always open to any student or parent who wishes to create.

MTES Art Program Pre-K - 4th Grade

The MTES Art Program consists of weekly Art classes for students in Preschool through 4th grade. Throughout the program students learn the process of appreciation and aesthetics by learning to discern what the artist wanted us to know. The themes include famous works of art, favorite story illustrations and art from artists and cultures all around the world. We achieve this through a process of art criticism where students describe, analyze, and interpret a wide variety of artwork. Art projects based on our aesthetic explorations vary from drawing, painting, and sculpture throughout the school year. Students will save their artwork in a portfolio and then select their favorite piece to present in a whole school art show, the Festival of Arts. Third and Fourth grade students will also have opportunities to sign up for Mastery Enrichment workshops where they will create artwork based on unique themes and materials.

Art Explorers

Art Explorers is an elective class for 2nd and 3rd grade students. We meet once a week during the student's lunch and recess period and engage in creating using unconventional materials. The students are presented with ideas based on an artists' example, unusual material, or ideas generated within the group.

Please contact me via email if you are interested in the program.

Advanced Art Program

The Advanced Art Program is an elective class for 4th grade students. We meet once a week during the students lunch and recess period. The goals and objectives of the Advanced class are designed for students to develop higher level skills while also learning to express themselves creatively.
