Welcome
to my home page!
I
am currently updating this old page to include new links and information about
the art classes I currently teach. I
hope to update the old links as well to English and German sites. For my fledgling Art History page by Drew S.,
click here. The final
project in Art History is a researched defense of a 20th or 21st
century artist. Student samples include Gigi’s research on Kathe Kollwitz and Tyler’s research on Brancusi.
In my sample on Rauschenberg, I utilized the New
York Times obituary and other
sources.
For
the latest on South grad Ana De Roo check out this
link to
Ana in Madrid combining knowledge of
chemistry and art as she helps to recreate Italian painter Paolo Véronèse’s “The Wedding at Cana.”
For
more on Photo One, my focus in 2008-2009, follow some of these links to
assignments, examples, and more.
Getting started: the right camera!

The
research project below is for my Freshmen English classes as they
research the Elizabethan Era. Other students researching any topic can use it
to find helpful links and general information on the research process. The American Literature Harlem Renaissance WebQuest is a project I created to help kids explore the
art, music and literature of the 1920s.
Check out the German links,
particularly my former stomping grounds in Freiburg,
Germany. Finally, two links are included
here for South High School’s Advanced
Placement Language and Composition students. Our new Contemporary Essayist Project is
designed to foster an understanding of how the top American newspaper
columnists use language for persuasion today.
So, Enjoy!
