My name is Mrs. Canavan, and I am excited to start my 3rd year here in Willmar Senior High, and my 5th year of teaching. I received my B.F.A. at the University of MN, Duluth and was a proud member of the Study in England Programme as well as a bass guitar player in the Bulldog Pep Band. Since college, I have enjoyed traveling around the U.S., working with various youth activities like basketball and art club, helping out at The Barn, and spending time with my family and my dog.
My goal is to engage students in hands-on manipulation of clay and various processes. We will take a journey around the world to study culture as well as looking into the processes of famous artists and how they approached their own artwork to help inspire you and your work. We will discuss, know, and apply the creative process and the foundations of art through the elements and principles of design to all of our art projects while utilizing our MN Art Standards. I am excited to inspire you, and I look forward to the inspiration you bring to me!My goal is to engage students in hands-on manipulation of clay.
