Ambassador
"I see this as an opportunity to improve my classroom and instruction so that more students see the power they have to affect their community through art. Having an opportunity to talk and brainstorm with other art educators is an invaluable resource to which I don’t currently have access."
Mindy Sizemore is an Art Educator working in Martinsburg, West Virginia. She graduated from Shepherd University with a BFA in Painting and an MAT in Art Education. She also earned a Graduate Certificate in Appalachian Studies. She is passionate about all types of art making, West Virginia history, snacks, and all of her incredible students. Her approach to teaching is project based and choice focused. In her classroom, she celebrates the individuality of each learner and emphasizes joy and fun!
