About the art roomFirst of all - WE GET MESSY in the art room! We are busy learning all kinds of things about art and design - and we love to use paint and clay and chalk and oil pastels and markers AND MORE - to do that learning. Please know that although we have processes to help us stay as clean as possible, that it is UNWISE to wear you favorite clothes on your art day! : )
Over 30 classes a week come through the art room, so we have set some basic rules about being respectful of our short TIME, and EACH OTHER, and our SUPPLIES AND SPACE. I know 2017-2018 is going to be a GREAT year in the art room with the awesome students at Penny Road. We will be working to cover NC Art Standards, along with some National Arts Standards, connecting to classroom and cross curriculum learning opportunities, as well as what is going on in the world around us - and DEFINITELY exploring our own expression and ideas. |
About Mrs. G |
I am so excited to be at Penny Road for my third year! I have been teaching art in elementary school, as well as college art and design courses for a long time now. I started teaching in New Bern, NC in 2000, and was then in Nashville, TN for 8 years before returning to NC. Before I was an art teacher, I was a graphic designer/art director in lots of places around the US. I have lived in several states, and also lived and traveled extensively over seas - but NC is my favorite place to be! My husband and I have two daughters - one is a senior in college and the other is a freshman at Apex Friendship High School. I have a wild and fun golden retriever - I love to sail and paddle board and anything else water related - I love art - and I love to teach! I look forward to getting to know all of my Penny Road families - stop by anytime to see me - I'll be in the art room!
