Department: Visual and Performing Arts Ext: x41609 riyagray@paps.net

 

Hello and welcome!
I am a teacher at Perth Amboy High School, where I teach Foundations of Art at the Freshman Academy. I’ve had the privilege of teaching in this district for nine years.

This course introduces students to the visual arts by focusing on the building blocks of art. Students will explore a variety of materials and techniques to strengthen their technical skills while also using creativity to make art that is both personal and meaningful.

Throughout the course, students will reflect on their own work and the work of others to better understand how artists think and create. By the end of the year, they will have developed stronger skills, greater confidence, and a deeper appreciation for how art connects to the world around them.
