About+Ms.+Adams

====Let me start by telling you a little about why I want to become a teacher. I have a passion for the visual arts. Moreover, I have a passion for people. Specifically, for high school-aged students! I hope you will come to think of me as a mentor, teacher, and friend. I have a very hands-on approach to learning and teaching. I know all of you will come into my class with your likes, dislikes, strengths, and weakness. I will strive to push each of you farther than you think your abilities will take you. I want to unleash your creative side and let you run with it! Ask questions always; engage yourself, your fellow students, and me in your ideas. I love art and want to show each of you how to love art and photography also!!!====



= = ====I am an artist, an animal lover, a fan of the colors pink and purple, a shark-fanatic. My five top passions are: my family and friends (especially my nephews John Clarke and Colin), connecting with my students, photography, scuba diving, and my dogs. I love to travel,especially to places where I can dive. My top three destinations have been the Galapagos Islands, Belize, and Honduras (twice!). In class you will hear me talk a lot about my sweet nephews, John Clarke and Colin, and about my four dogs - Dixie,Camper, Toby, and Trucker.====

====As for my background and education - I graduated from Birmingham Southern College in 2010 with my Bachelors in Fine Arts. My senior show was an underwater exploration with the use of models, fabrics, and light. My favorite part of being at BSC was developing black and white images in the darkroom. I would spend hours and hours lost in there!! I am currently working on my Masters in Fine Arts Education at University of Alabama atBirmingham and will be finishing up in the next year or so.====
