Larry Hawkins's Artists: Expectations/Procedures/Consequences

Welcome!!!

Welcome to Ms. Keenon's art classroom! I look forward to an exciting year creating art. I am a new teacher and experienced artist who is eager to share my passion and love of art with my students.

A little about me: I am a working artist with gallery representation both here in Chicago and in L.A. I graduated from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago with a Bachelor's of Fine Arts in 2005 and received my Master's in Art Education from Columbia College in 2010. My focus is in getting to know my students so that they enjoy the art making process while incorporating art theory, history and criticism. Every project will be accompanied by a piece of writing, a historical context and some form of criticism.

Through the school year, I will be showcasing students' work on this site. I will also be posting pertinent information such as assignments, the syllabus and events as well as information on artists we discuss in class.

This is going to be a fantastic year!!!!!
