: : : : Photo: About The Teacher Label: About The Teacher Miss Atkison has lived in Miami most of her life. She was a graduate of Gulliver Preparatory. She was on the school's tennis and softball teams and competed in tennis on statewide competitions. She is also a member of the Women USTA league for tennis and is found playing on Monday and Friday night playing singles and doubles. She also plays mixed doubles tennis on Mondays, Thursday and Friday nights when the weather allows her. Another sport she has recently taken up is golf and can be found playing with her parents, friends and oldest nephew on the weekends. She didn't get interested in art until she was attending college at Florida International University. Miss Atkison is a graduate from Florida International University with five seperate degrees. She began teaching in 1992 at Olinda Elementary which she earned the rookie teacher of the year award. She transferred to Kendale Lakes Elementary in 1999. She has a minor in Fine Arts, a Bachelor's in Psychology, a Bachelor's in Art Education, a Master's in Art Education, and a Specialist in Art Education. She has currently passed her national boards as of November 2009. With her degree in art education she began developing her own unique style of art and creating a working portfolio that she uses in her profession as an artist. She is a working artist that specializes in pastels and watercolors and competes in a variety of shows and contests with her art work. Examples of her style of work can be found in Atkison art gallery on the home page. She has won several awards and recognitions for her art at contests and sells her work to the public. When she is not working at school or playing tennis you can often find her at home either painting with her pastels or watercolor paints or playing with her dog Pepper. Pepper is a silky terrier that she adopted from the Miami Humane Society in November 2004. The loves of her life are her dog, parents, brother, sister-in-law and her two nephews (one is in fifth grade this year and the other is in second). She is very happy that her family lives close by so they see each other often. Mission Label: Mission The art class mission is to expose the students to various styles and mediums in art. The student learns about artists of the time and the development of the individual styles. The art teacher instucts students to develop their skills in drawing, pastels, watercolor painting, tempra painting, sculpture, and cutting and pasting with paper. There is also an art club for students in the 4th and 5th grades. Students try out for the club and get to experience art more often than they would in the regular classes.
