Mrs. Forwark’s Promise to You!
 
 
As your art teacher, I promise to create 
an enthusiastic and engaging learning environment; 
One that enables creative thinking and 
self-expression to flow!
 
I will respect and nurture your unique individuality 
and I will remember you by name!  I will get to 
know what your special needs might be.
 
By creating your own art and by exposing you to 
other people’s works of art, I hope to inspire in you
 a sincere appreciation for art.  
 
Because of my own passion for art ~ and my love for
 young children’s creative ideas ~ I promise
 to “draw” out in each and everyone of you
 the wonderful artist within… 
The artist that you already are!!!
 
 
 
About Mrs. Forwark:
 
It takes a special kind of person to teach art to children ranging in age
from five to eleven years old.  Mrs. Forwark personifies that special 
quality (and stamina!) needed to teach the joy and appreciation of art!
Mrs. Forwark has been teaching at Curtsinger for over thirteen years now.
During this time, her students have achieved much acclaim in the many areas
of visual arts.  Over the years, Curtsinger has had several student artworks 
selected by the Texas Art Education Association for the prestigious honors
of being displayed at our state’s capitol as well as at TASA/TASB Conventions.
Mrs. Forwark has built a very strong art program and it shows through in the
beautiful art displays that grace Curtsinger’s walls everyday.
She also keeps her students creatively involved in community art projects
provided through our wonderful local arts organizations. 
 
Mrs. Forwark serves as our school districts’ Elementary Youth Art Month
Art Show coordinator.  She is the lead elementary art contact for FISD 
and likes organizing the many art contest opportunities for the district.
Mrs. Forwark is also very passionate with her efforts as the Frisco Education
Foundation (FEF)Liaison for her campus.  She has participated in Teachers on Ice, 
the annual FEF Chili Challenge, and the Gary Burns Fun Run for many years. She has
also served on both the Blue Ribbon Writing Committee and the Parent Involvement
Committee and is proud to say that Curtsinger was awarded both of those
prestigious honors in 2005 and 2007 respectively.  Mrs. Forwark also received
the honorary Texas PTA Life Membership from the Frisco Council of PTAs in 2008.
 
Above all, Mrs. Forwark is most proud of her busy family of five.  Her husband,
Randy, is her biggest fan and supporter.  The center of their world is their three
children.  Jenny, a Frisco High School graduate, just graduated from THE University
of Texas in Austin and is now teaching special education english at Heritage High
School!  Hook 'Em Horns & Go Coyotes!  Ryan and Sarah (twins) are seniors at
Centennial High School and will graduated this spring!  Go TITANS!
