Wossman will also begin working with Coach Dee Dee Massey on a Bus Painting Project

 

 

 

The goal in all of my schools is to focus on the Basic Prinicples of Design: Symmetry, Emphasis, Rhythm, Contrast, and Pattern.

 

   Through an understanding of these practices students will realize their artistic potential which will improve their quality of life at the school they are attending. 

 

 

 

 

About Mr. Knopps: 

 

Since graduating from Louisiana Tech in 2014 I have had the pleasure of teaching for Monroe City Schools for 10 years. This will be my fifth year teaching Talented Art at Wossman High and MLK Junior High, I look forward to a great year! 

Individualism: As an Art Teacher I believe in embracing your individual style. No two people create the same way. We are unique individuals with our own likes and dislikes. Lets find those qualities in ourselves, and use them to make amazing artwork.

Success and Mistakes: Mistakes are a part of the learning process as an artist, and I want us to embrace these moments on our way to success. We must be able to make mistakes as artists in order to grow. 

Learning as a Group: With everything I can teach, the community of the classroom is a blessing. We learn so much from each other. I know this year will be different with virtual learning but please continue to communicate with your classmates. 

See you soon!!
