Hi and welcome to Mr. Ruhlman's art class. I am so happy to have you as a student. This is my 4th year of teaching art.

I love art and love introducing students to new media, artists and ways of viewing the world. 

• In your class you will learn to observe and look closer at objects and ideas that surround us.
• You will have the opportunity to experiment with different types of materials to create your own artwork. 
• You will strengthen problem-solving and critical thinking skills through the arts.
• You will explore your creative potential and take those skills through future careers and higher learning opportunities.
• You will learn to write an artist's statement and discuss your ideas in a clear and concise manner.
• You will hopefully have fun and engage with the community around you.

Mr. Ruhlman
