My name is Mrs. Snedden and I feel so lucky to be your child's art teacher! 

Teacher Background:

I graduated from Northern Arizona University in December 2014, where I obtained my Bachelor of Science in Education with a K-12 Art Endorsement as well as a Structured English Immersion Endorsement.

My mission as an art teacher is to create a positive learning environment in which safety and meeting the academic needs of my students are top priorities. I believe people achieve the most when their work is fueled by passion. I will foster a love of learning that promotes critical thinking skills, and by doing so encourages students to view themselves as life-long learners. Utilizing the structures and functions of art and design, I will develop and teach a sequential art program in which students are provided with multiple opportunities to practice aesthetics, art criticism, art history, and art production. I will establish an environment where students feel comfortable taking creative risks with their artwork. Art celebrates diversity. I believe everyone has something of importance to contribute, and I plan to encourage students to reach their fullest potential through a comprehensive art program.
