<p>1. A good art teacher wants you to learn something new about art and have fun doing it.  This includes the elements and principles of art, techniques (how tos), and art appreciation.</p>
<p>2. A good art teacher makes you feel comfortable and encouraged practicing self-expression.</p>
<p>3. A good art teacher wants you to explore your hidden talents while gaining a new appreciation of art and the role it plays in the world around you and how it relates to the core subjects.</p>
<p>4. A good art teacher strives to have students that produce work in each class that is unique.  They want you to be able to think for yourself and make decisions and put a work of art together that belongs to you the student.  A good art teacher does not want you to be afraid of failure, but have the tenacity of an inventor.  It is ok to fail, the next attempt may be spectacular.  In other academic core classes, there is usually only one right answer.  But in art the ability to think for yourself can not only prepare you for success in your other classes, but in your future life. </p>
<p>COME TO OUR ADVANCED ART CAMP AND LEARN HOW TO SHARE YOUR ABILITIES IN ART BY TEACHING ART.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We really like Mrs  Jeffus&#8217; art classes on the Internet because it allows us to learn from a qualified professional in the comfort of our own home. More than that, Mrs. Jeffus truly cares about the students and their personal development. She teaches the kids, not the curriculum. The encouragement and consideration she has shown to my kids has been very present&#8211;in my opinion, this trait is just as important when teaching young children, as it is to have a firm grasp on the subject matter. Thankfully, Mrs. Jeffus has both, and fortunately, this comes through well in her Internet classes.</p>
