About the Author
Melinda Miller
Educator
Teach at Napa High School, Napa CA
Fine Arts Department, 3D Studio Arts AP and Ceramics
I have 4 BofA degrees in Art and 1 BA degree in Business
Photograph, Drawing & Painting, Printmaking and Sculpture.
I have taught Advanced levels of 4 out of the 5 subject areas, but not Printmaking, hopefully in the future. I love making art and sharing my artwork with my students and patrons.
My journey through Touro University Master Program in Innovative Learning has opened my eyes to new ways of reaching my students and aiding them for the future with technology. My research was oriented around teaching students to become stronger problem solving, critical thinking, and cognitive minded young adults. The critique form I have developed will be used to critique each other's artwork and artists of importance. Finding new tools for educating in the study arts classroom was fruitful. Eportfolios, Paperless documents and critique forms are a few of the tools developed during this program of learning. I've shown some samples in this website and I use them my classroom.
I've always been a 21st Century teacher embracing the new technology as it becomes apart of our lives. I'm embracing my new found tools that will aid me to teach creativity.
I'm still working to build a better mouse trap to say about critique forms using electronic media.
