Meet Liz

I have a Bachelor’s degree in Art Education from Ball State University, providing me with a strong foundation in studio art, child development, and creative instruction. At Meet Liz Art Barn Classes, I use the DBAE (Discipline-Based Art Education) model, integrating art production, art history, art criticism, and aesthetics to help students build technical skills while developing their own artistic voice.

My education included classroom management, lesson planning, art integration, and hands-on practicum teaching with K-12 students. I successfully completed and passed the edTPA, the national teacher performance assessment. During my student teaching at East Allen University and Paul Harding Junior High, I gained valuable experience supporting students with diverse learning styles, including those with IEPs, 504 plans, and English language learners.

Although I chose a creative path outside the traditional classroom, my passion has always been helping people discover the joy of art through workshops, homeschool programs, and community events. If you'd like to experience this creative environment yourself, explore our Art Barn Classes and find the perfect class for your artistic journey.

Through Meet Liz Art Barn Classes, my goal is to make art approachable, inspiring, and meaningful while encouraging every student to create with confidence and creativity.
