Hello! I am Miss Dare & this is my 2nd year here at AAA. I am a teaching artist from the Florence, Alabama area, and I grew up in Michigan. I enjoy both academics as well as art, which helps create an artistic as well as academic environment in my classroom. I firmly believe that you should never stop learning. I am truly thankful to be able to be apart of our wonderful school.

Media Arts Digital Contour Line Drawings

Students in 6th Grade Media Arts have been continuing/strengthening their learning how to manipulate the tools & layers on photoshop. These contour line drawings are fun & creative! 

​Visual Arts I Graphite Still Life Apples

Students in Visual Arts I worked really hard on observation drawings in the beginning of the school year! Students worked with value, shading, highlights, shadows, shape, and various techniques to create these sweet apples! They are currently hanging the Art Works Gallery for viewing, stop by and see! 

Media Arts Digital Landscape Drawings

Students in 6th Grade Media Arts have been learning how to manipulate the tools & layers on photoshop. We are so excited to see the different types of landscapes they have created while exploring the application!

2D/3D Views of My Future Watercolor

Students in 2D/3D worked from start to finish on a 2-point perspective drawing, then planned, selected, and transferred their ideal futures into architectural drawings, and watercolor painted them. Once completely finished they observed the paintings hanging and made inferences on the message the artist was trying to portray.
