Educational Philosophy: My primary goal is to help students to develop lifelong interest in art. In my class I encourage children to create art, to look at art and to live with art. Art fosters critical thinking and problem solving skills, develops motor and language skills, it also teaches our youth to understand life and human spirit and to know ourselves deeply. Through painting and drawing, working with clay and printmaking, our children learn about various ways to express themselves as human beings.

Mitchell art room is the place where our students can express their inner talent, relax, and build their confidence. It is a place where our young people explore their identity, grow in confidence and develop the social skills they need to engage in learning and thrive in life.
