My Mission for My Students:
The mission for my students is to:
• To enhance their learning through the arts.
• To give my students exposure to various forms of art that they create.
• To let them have an understanding of various works of art from throughout history.
The arts enrich our lives and leave lasting
impressions that should be embraced - without art life would be boring.
