Meet Michelle
MK Art Academy Founder, Michelle Kamrath
Secondary Art Teacher & College Art Professor
Hello! I have been a fine artist for over 25 years, and have shown in galleries and juried art shows, plus worked in the graphics field. In 2015, I worked in the classroom teaching Middle/High School art, as well as taught graphic design at the college level at the Art Institute of Las Vegas. While at the secondary level, I was looking for an art curriculum, but I simply couldn't find anything that taught the way I wanted. That was the genesis of Emerging Art. After many refinements and revisions, Emerging Art was completed and published. It became my passion to communicate this so that other art teachers would have a comprehensive resource that could save them hours of prep and give them the confidence they were hitting all the standards. I am continuing to support, refine, and upgrade my art curriculum so that creativity and visual thinking can systematically be built in all our students.
Visual Thinking Builds Growing Minds
Best Decision Ever
Growing Artful Minds Through Creativity
I believe all students have the ability to learn art and its concepts, but that is not what I feel is most important. It is to help build the confidence that there is value inside each student and that it is art that can give expression to each voice.
