Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree in Education from University of New England
I am offering this class because I have extensive art history experience in a B.F.A. undergraduate degree. I have been teaching art history to children for over 30 years and successful at relating historical art content to children because of my childhood art experiences included art appreciation at a very young age. I believe we all can learn from art history to better our present. Every picture tells a story that is worth listening to. Reviews
