Jeannette Smith Anthos
I graduated with my Master's in Art Education from the University of Georgia in teh Fall of 2004. I am currently teaching the most wonderful students in Georgia at my elementary school--at least I think so)--i have been at JHH since Fall 2000. I am an active member in the art community--I belong to the High Museum of Art, NAEA, as well as GAEA (GA Art Ed. Assoc).I am the Elementary Division Director for GAEA as well as having been on several committes , and actively present at state and national conference ... read mores. I also have had some articles published in Arts & Activities & School Arts magazines.
I LOVE teaching art to children. There is nothing more exciting than a day when you help a student achieve their goal, and you see that light shine in their eyes. I never had an elementary art teacher, which is what lead me to teach at the elementary level. I wanted to instill a passion for art in my students at a young age. That is why the majority of my lessons center around an artist. The emotional learning gives them a connection to the art, and it's fun for me too. Especially when we studied Michelangelo and painted the ceiling tiles of the art room. Boy was that great! Thank you artsonia for having this online web museum. You have made my students feel like art "moviestars". You've given them that extra spark to make their day brighter.
