Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! I'm Amy Roadman, a PreK-12 Certified Art Teacher with 20+ years of experience and the owner of the Igniting Creativity Organization.
As a visual arts educator, I strive to bring creativity into the lives of others. I started taking art classes as a young child myself and I've never looked back. Being encouraged to be creative at a young age shaped my future.
At Igniting Creativity, we believe art and creativity can be taught, you don't have to start out with innate talent, but a desire to create and practice. So many of our students expect to be an expert after one drawing and are disappointed if they struggle at all during the process. Once they realize that other activities or sports that they participate in require a tremendous amount of practice before they play the first game or get up on a stage to perform, they understand that they don't have to put that kind of pressure on themselves and are then able to enjoy every step of the learning curve.
We can't wait to share our enthusiasm for art and the creative process with you!
