Dear
Families,
I
am thrilled to welcome you to Archway Trivium East as we begin the 2015-2016
school year at our new academy. I am excited to get to know you and your child
and begin a wonderful academic and creative year.
I
am Ms. Clare Kober, and I will be teaching 3rd – 5th
grade art between Archway Trivium East and Archway Trivium West. I feel truly
fortunate to be a Great Hearts Academies visual arts teacher. After earning my
Bachelor’s in Interior Design from Northern Arizona University, I went on to
complete my Master’s in Art Education from Arizona State University. I have a
passion for teaching and art, and I am exited to share an exploration of wonder
and reason as we seek truth, goodness, and beauty in art.
We
believe that art is not reserved for an elite group of people. Rather, everyone
has the ability to understand and produce great art when exposed to a rich
classical curriculum through high expectations and a supportive environment. We
will be studying a myriad of master artworks from various cultures and time
periods throughout history. Scholars will be introduced to a range of media
from oil pastels to watercolors. They will use proper techniques and elements
of art to create their own masterpieces. Scholars will leave this class with a
thorough knowledge of and a great appreciation for the arts. This will help
establish creative and critical thinking skills that can be used in various
avenues of the their lives.
I
want to thank you for your support and opportunity to work with you and your
child so that we can have a successful year. Below is my contact information,
and I encourage you to contact me with any questions or concerns.
Thank
you for your time and I look forward to meeting you in the near future!
Ms. Clare
Kober, M.Ed.
