Welcome to the Desert Willow Art Studio!

I am so grateful and excited to be the art teacher here at Desert Willow Elementary School! Students will be practicing Studio Habits of Mind in the art studio: Engage and Persist, Observe, Stretch and Explore, Envision, Express, Understand Art World, Reflect, and Develop Craft. They will learn how to access and use art materials responsibly and skillfully in a choice-based curriculum. For information regarding Teaching for Artistic Behavior, see TAB.
