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 childrens' creative ideas ~ I promise
to “draw” out in each and everyone of you
the wonderful artist within…
The artist that you already are!!!

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
