Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello learners! My name is Mrs. Hipp and I am an Art teacher! I have taught art at all ages! I created an after school art club for 6th, 7th, and 8th grades including a mural painted by the middle school art club. I taught art with PreK and Kindergarten classes for 3 years, and continue my journey through teaching.

I studied art at The Art Institute of Chicago. I loved every second of it. I love investigating each painting, trying to identify what was the artists creative process? What were they thinking, and feeling when they made this? What was going on in the world that played a part in their artwork? 

I loved learning about art history and artists from the past. It is a beautiful timeline learning about the masters of art, and how they inspired their cultures. I want to explore art through the ages from Davinci to Picasso, and Frida. We can't forget Duchamp, VanGough, Monet. and so many more. I cannot wait to share with you all of the exciting details of different artists, and their paintings. 

One of my favorite quotes of all time is from the well known Pablo Picasso. "Every child is an artist." I truly believe this. The word artist is a mindset not a skillset. My goals are to introduce, and explore different skills to beginning artists, and watch them grow passed their own boundaries. As my favorite Magic School Bus teacher Mrs.Frizzle once said.... "Lets take chances, make mistakes, and get messy!"  

I am so excited to go on this journey with you. In my classes we will explore different art medias and materials including: paint ( all kinds of paint), clay, paper mache, recycled art, charcoal, oil pastels, sketching with pencils, scratchboards, and more!!! Come join me on this creative adventure!
