Visual Arts


Welcome to the Visual Arts home page.

I have been an art instructor for over 20 years now. Sixteen of those years have been spent in the Caledonia Area School District. For many years I delighted in teaching art at the elementary level, but I now enjoy teaching at the high school and middle school levels. I currently live in Spring Grove with my husband and daughter.

CHS/MS offers a comprehensive visual arts curriculum. This means that in each course students will explore the following core areas of visual arts:

Art Production - the making of artistic objects.

Art History - exploring art from a variety of times and culture.

Art Criticism – dissecting art to discover meaning and making educated judgments about artwork.

Aesthetics - defining art and raising questions about beauty and the meaning of art.

Goals of Visual Arts:

To prepare students to enter the world as intelligent, open minded, individuals. Who then can make, buy, view, and experience art as a vital role in their lives and community.

To prepare future artists for college, art school, or technical school by providing a comprehensive program. This program will include a variety of skills, processes and content that is needed to make a smooth transition after high school.
