Meet the Teachers  at Crockett Elementary School (Brentwood, Tennessee)

Crystal Jahnig Dear Families, Hello, my name is Mrs. Jahnig and I will be teaching your young artist(s) this year. I am looking forward to meeting you as well as inviting your artist(s) into the art studio. This is my ninth year as an art educator; I received my Masters in Art Education from Boston University in 2011, and have a great passion for inspiring others. I have a two-year-old son, and it brings me great joy finding new and exciting projects. Our children see an amazing number of images every day. Just ... read more look around. Our world is a very visual place. We are surrounded by images, whether they are on television, in videos, in magazine and newspapers, on billboards, or in textbooks. Children need to know how to read, judge, and act on the information they receive from these images. This school year the children in my art class will discover how to think critically about what they see. Exploring art from various cultures will help children analyze, explain, and judge art images. They will also have the opportunity to produce art, allowing them to share their ideas with others. I’m looking forward to a wonderful year exploring art with your child. I am confident that we will share many rewarding experiences. Sincerely, Crystal Jahnig compliment teacher
