Molly Brennan is originally from Mequon, Wisconsin. She moved to Baltimore
to attend the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, MD in 1997. Ms.
Brennan received her BFA in General Sculptural Studies in 2001 and her Masters
of Arts in Teaching in 2002 from MICA.
This is Ms. Brennan's fourth year at Howard High School, but her sixth year
teaching art. She has also taught at Mount Hebron High School in Ellicott
City and at Calera High School in Calera, Alabama, where she lived for 2
years. She currently resides in Baltimore, MD with her two cats, Plinko and
Gris Gris, and her new beagle, Lulah Mae Beables.
Ms. Brennan was named "New Art Teacher of the Year" for Howard County in 2007.
Ms. Brennan was interviewed for the August 2007 issue of "The Umbrella," a
Baltimore arts newspaper, where she talked about teaching and making art.
The National Art Education Association recommends a "program of art
instruction that integrades the study of aesthetics, art criticism, art
history, and art production. In other words, students in Ms. Brennan's
classes will be engaged in MAKING art, VIEWING and DISCUSSING art, READING
and WRITING about art, and learning WHY art is created.
