Dear Parents,
2023-24 will be another exciting year for your children. Our classes will be full of challenges and opportunities to learn and create. Art class creates continuous opportunities for students to develop both physically and mentally. Every student LOVES art class. My name is Robert Smith and this is my seventh year teaching Art at Plato Academy. I am very proud to be in the Plato Academy family and I love creating and exploring art.
We experiment with several art mediums and learn about the great artists, the history of art as well as contemporary art. I hope to inspire their creativity and get them excited about creative design.
A little bit about me: I am a graduate of the University of Georgia with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, where I majored in Graphic Design. I have several years of technical design knowledge with real-world application experience and I love teaching! I have had many great teachers in my life. I became a teacher to hopefully ignite the fire of creativity in my students like it was ignited in me.
I’ve lived in several different States in the U.S. and overseas twice. I love traveling and I have walked the Acropolis in Athens, Greece. I am also an avid sports fan. I have coached baseball and soccer and I have played all of the major sports. I have children of my own and I’ve been able to expose them to drawing, painting, sculpture and the arts. They constantly amaze me with their creativity.
My goal is have every student realize their own creative side, take chances and surprise themselves. We will have individual goals and group goals to accomplish this year. We will learn about color, balance, lighting and shadows, spatial understanding, 2D & 3D design, and motion design. We will learn how to navigate through various computer programs (hopefully) and utilize various software applications to create wonderful artwork and express ourselves.
Finally, let's have a fantastic time this year! I believe that every one of my students can surpass their own expectations.
Sincerely,
Mr. Smith
