My name is Emily Bawol. I am a mother, artist, art educator, and art therapist. I have two daughters, also in AAPS with me (Pioneer and STEAM). I am a firm supporter of nurturing a child's sense of WONDER as they grow, and truly believe that creativity and art-making specifically is a very important language which children speak in the world. I am a TAB teacher, which means that I support TEACHING for ARTISTIC BEHAVIORS within the studio as a means of helping all students to develop their creative voice as they grow as artists and simply as humans in the world. 

I am truly excited about what this year's art adventures in the studio will bring. Thank you in advance for supporting your children as they grow and explore as artists with me! 

Here are some resources about my philosophy of teaching which might be a good place to start as you learn about how I teach, and what to expect from your child's art-making experience this year. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.
