Meet the Teacher

Hi, I’m Miss. Mutzel!
I graduated from University of Tampa in May 2017 and received a B.A. in Art with a
concentration in Art Therapy and a minor in Education. I’m originally from a small town
outside of Philadelphia, PA. I enjoy sunsets, long walks on the beach and creating my
own art outside of class.

The first 5-7 minutes of each class will be dedicated to warming up the students creative thinking and
drawing skills with Bell Work drawing assignments in their sketch book. For example, the prompts may
read, “draw an animal surfing” or “draw a fruit in outer space”.

Students will be given quarterly quizzes and participate in critiques to reinforce the material covered.
The quiz content will include vocabulary, art history, and other concepts such as color theory &
perspective. A final project will be given in replacement of an exam, but will still covered all material
learned over the year.

Occasionally students will be given handouts to be completed in class that include art vocabulary,
history or space to practice concepts. If a student does not finish a project or worksheet in the
prescribed time period, it will then be assigned for homework and due the next school day.

I can’t wait to see the amazing art you will create this semester!
