Hello! I am Mrs. Hopkins, one of the art teachers at Grace Prep this year. The previous posts on this page are all the wonderful creations and artwork of my students from the past 6 years. I am so thankful for Mrs. Benitez, one of my good friends, who stepped in to take over the art program last year. I had to step back for a while to deal with some health issues but I am glad to be back this year for a couple of the classes!
I graduated in 1990 from Texas Tech University with a BS degree in Exercise and Sport Science and a minor in Art, an interesting combination isn't it? Let's just say it was hard to decide between two very different subjects that I was interested in. Being creative, however, is something I have enjoyed since I was a little girl and still do to this day. I think my favorite art media is drawing with regular and Prismacolor pencils but I like to try other things too.
