My name is MaryJo Rosania-Harvie and I have been an art educator, officially, since 2001. I taught all the media in a multiple settings, and enjoyed it all. I received my MFA in 2005, and continue to do my own studio work.

One of the best things about being an art teacher are the relationships that are formed through creative decision making and collaboration. Art rooms are communities, and it seems creative people crave community. Fast forward to now, I am an assistant principal in a high school for the arts. Although I do not teach anymore, I am surrounded by creative people and support teachers everyday. I am studying arts integration because I believe the arts are the best way to engage students in learning.

Through my Skillshare classes I hope to engage learners in the creative process. They will make creative decisions, think about materials in a new way, and make the world around them, and the community, more beautiful through art. I would love to see everything you make and form a community here with all of you.
