Meet the Teachers  at St. John The Baptist Catholic School (Jefferson, Wisconsin)

	Heather Devine I have been so blessed with the opportunity to teach our children at St. John the Baptist. I graduated from UW Madison with a degree in Fine Arts and K-12 Art Education in 1999. Art has been a love of mine as long as I can remember. My mom bought me my first drawing book, art graphite pencils and paper when I was in 7th grade. From that point on I explored everything from Black and White photography, Art Metals (forging and jewelry making), fine woodworking, and an in depth study of African Arts and Cul ... read moretures. I received several scholarships throughout my high school years to study photojournalism at the University of Minnesota and UW Green Bay. In addition I was awarded a scholarship as a Freshman in College to study abroad in Paris France. My goal for our students is to help them learn to see through curious eyes and learn to observe, interpret and create. To expand on what knowledge I have to offer them and confidently make it their own. God gives us a clean piece of paper each day. I tell the students that he knows we will make mistakes and so he gives us erasers known as forgiveness which allows us to start anew. Some days my paper has only slight blemishes and most days I wear a hole right through it, but I always keep trying! God didn't make one snowflake or blade of grass the exact same so we learn to embrace our successes and oops! Send compliment
