About Ms. Hattingh...
I believe Art not only nurtures our students' true creativity, but also supports them in so many other valuable and transferrable skills. I don't expect my students to all grow up to become artists, but without a doubt I believe every student will use something they learned in art class in their successful futures. Art teaches students how to solve problems differently, how to question and challenge the norms, while also giving them the courage to try new things and the conviction to defend those creations. Art shows students the value of human ideas, inspirations, inventions, and creations. Art allows students to express their minds and hearts in the truest form.
"Art, undeniably, is conducive happiness."
