Students will learn about 15 major artists, art movements, and/ or art cultures.  Students will also learn how to manipulate at grade appropriate levels various art media including clay, paint, colored pencils, and oil pastels.

I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Visual Arts education and am certified by the state of Indiana to teach art for grades PK-12.  To obtain my degree, I have also taken several art history courses  which did focus on the art movements, cultures, and artists I will be teaching in this course including those of art during the abolition era. In addition, to obtain my teaching license, I had to take two tests, one on teaching methods and one of art history.  The test on art history did include each of the cultures/ movements present in this course.

I have continued my studies and professional development individually as a teacher through collaboration with music teachers and observing and learning from other art teachers to gain even more knowledge of the art history subjects taught in this course including the art of the abolition era.

I have taught versions of each of these projects in public, private, and charter school; and this course is designed to meet the standards/ requirements for art in most U.S. states.
