Symmetrical Poster Design


Symmetrical Poster Design
BALANCE




SYMMETRY
The simplest kind of balance. 
When something is the SAME on BOTH SIDES. 
There is a line of symmetry that "reflects" the design. 

These artists use Symmetrical Balance as a major part of their design.

My New High School Art Classroom


Welcome to High School Art Class 2023/24


This is my first year teaching HS Art! 
I have taught MS Art for 14 years and Elementary Art for 5 years. This will be my 20th year teaching Art. I’m so excited to try something new. I plan to push and challenge myself in teaching new things and challenge you creatively this year. I hope to expose you to tools and ideas that you have never used. I hope you discover medium combinations you like and find new ways to express your ideas and emotions. 
I hope that your creativity goes outside the walls of the art classroom and into your personal life too.

WELCOME TO THE NEW ART ROOM! 
I cannot express how excited I am to the be the NEW ART TEACHER at 
Mineola High School this year. 
20 years ago, I swore out of fear I never would teach HighSchool.
But here I am... 
I was so excited in fact, that I spent most of my Summer trying my hardest to make the room special, colorful, fresh, organized and inspiring. 

Here is the before & after tour...
