Mrs. Moore
Hi! My name is Mrs. Moore and I'm the art teacher at Morrisville Elementary School. I have been teaching in Wake County since 2015. My first year teaching art ws at East Garner Magnet Middle School, and before that, I was a traveling art teacher in the Norfolk/ Virginia Beach area in Virginia with a company called Abrakadoodle. When I was in high school and college I taught drawing classes to children with a company called Monart. I graduated from the University of North Carolina in Asheville where I received my K-12 Art teaching license with a focus in printmaking. I became the lead children's program coordinator at the Grove Park Inn for a few years before moving to Virginia. I grew up in the Cary/Apex area and I'm very happy to be back home in North Carolina.
When I'm not at school, I enjoy spending time with my husband, my six year old daughter Zoe (Who is in Kindergarten this year on track 2), my baby daughter Mya, and my dog and two cats. I also really enjoy playing softball (I have been playing since I was 9 and I was one of the assistant coaches at East Garner Middle) and traveling to different places (I have been to most of the U.S., Singapore, Indonesia, China, New Zealand, and Mexico).
I like to teach a variety of art lessons which focus on different artists, art styles, or techniques. I love showing students how to manipulate various materials to create art and communicate their ideas. I like to find out what interests my students and use that to inspire their creativity. I enjoy being able to collaborate with other teachers and I encourage my students to work together to think critically and develop their problem solving skills. I think it is important to connect what the students are learning in the art room with what they are learning in their other classes. I teach my students how to "think outside the box" and to come up with their own unique and original ideas. I also enjoy teaching my students about different art and cultures from around the world.
I'm very excited to Move Every Student at Morrisville Elementary School this year!
