My nam e is Alyson Henry and I welcome you to the class website for this year's middle school art classes. This year's classes consist of 5th Grade Art, 6th Grade Art, 2-Dimensional Design, and 3-Dimensional Design. I look forward to meeting and working with each student individually and believe that it is going to be a great year!
A little bit about myself; I grew up in Clayton, North Carolina. I have always enjoyed art but decided that I wanted to teach when I was in high school. It wasn't until I went to college that I began to enjoy creating art during my spare time. I love trying to manipulate different media and incorporate the use of color into my artwork and within my classroom. I am newly married and we share our home with two crazy fur babies--Justice (a German Shepherd) and Bandit (a big black cat). In my spare time I enjoy hanging out watching movies, catching up on my DVR'd shows, taking Justice to the dog park, and spending time with my friends and family.
I received my B.A. from Meredith College with a Class A License to teach K-12 in Art Education. I have mastered various techniques within 2-Dimensional Design, 3-Dimensional Design, Fibers and Technology driven experiences as well as numerous media throughout my college career.
Included on this website are links to students' syllabi, Edmodo, your child's rubrics, as well as some of my personal artwork. Enjoy!
