About the Teacher

I have been the Art teacher at Glenn Martin since 1998. Over the years I have come to think of the students and faculty at Martin as an extension of my own personal family. I look forward to each opportunity to encourage creativity and broaden our perceptions of what ART really is...
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
TRASH TO TREASURE
In preparation for state testing, younger students will review shapes and colors. You can help at home by playing games which reinforce those simple concepts. Tangrams are simple geometric shape puzzles which force students to apply principles of flipping and transferring shapes to make an image.

ART LINKS:
Enjoy investigating the following online links to expand your art knowledge!
Some of my favorites:
My favorite new ORIGAMI resource is the website www.origamiplayer.com. Models are sorted by difficulty as well as subject matter. This site also animates each folding step to help anyone make better origami.
Check out the exhibits in Nashville at Frist Center for Visual Arts... When you visit, don't miss the Frist's "MARTIN ARTQUEST." It provides hands on activities for children of all ages.
The Hunter Museum of American Art in Chattanooga houses one of the finest collections of American Art in the U.S. If you can't make it to Chattanooga, you can still find out what's going on at the museum.
I LOVE to create my own art using WORDLE.
It allows you to create art from a word list or selection of text from your favorite book...
Try it out!!
The annual origami unit continues to be a HUGE success, so I've provided a link with some new and exciting folding patterns for children of all ages. ORIGAMI
