Hello! I am Mrs. Hopkins, the art teacher at Grace Prep. I am looking forward to getting to know each of my students this year and also being a part of encouraging and helping to develop art skills and creativity. I graduated in 1990 from Texas Tech University with a BS degree and a minor in Art. My husband Mike and I have been married since 1994 and we have 4 Treasures ages 24-14, Megan, Nathan, Nolan and Stephen. Many members of my family, both immediate and extended, enjoy being creative whether it's in the visual or musical arts. We also have a 14 year old terrier mix named Faleen Navidog. Over the course of the school year I plan to post our students' artwork on this blog site so you can keep up with what we are doing. I also plan to rotate what we do in class each year so your student can continue taking art and not repeat projects. My theme verse for teaching art is Ephesians 2:10. I like how it reads in the Amplified Bible:
For we are His workmanship [His own master work, a work of art], created in Christ Jesus [reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, ready to be used] for good works, which God prepared [for us] beforehand [taking paths which He set], so that we would walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us].Just for fun, here are some samples of my own art from through the years.
