Hello!
I'm Mrs. Larson, art teacher at Apollo Elementary School! I'm excited that you have visited my web page. I have been teaching at Apollo for 7 years and it is a pleasure to work with such a creative and diverse group of children. I hope to enrich education here with art projects that encourage problem-solving skills, build fine motor control, enhance imagination, and offer cultural/historical education.
Your support is appreciated and I am happy to have you as part of our art community.
A little more about me:
I am from Chicago and still live in the city with my husband and my 2 sons, Hawken, who is 3 years old and Riven, who was born in October this year! I went to college at Millikin University and graduate school at the Adler School of Professional Psychology in Chicago. I have Bachelors degrees in Art Therapy and Art Education and a Masters Degree in Counseling Art Therapy. I'm a registered certified Art Therapist. I absolutely love teaching because I get to watch children express themselves, use their motor skills, and challenge their thinking to construct new, unique things.
