En-masse Painting Series: Are You the Purple Jelly Bean?
Are You the Purple Jelly Bean? Oil on Panel 8x8 2009 Begun during Lent. I kept up with the reflections and bright colors, but loved that there was only one purple bean in the bag.
For over fifteen years, Margaurita has been teaching art.
Margaurita’s approach to teaching is that art is a universal language, open to anyone interested in expressing themselves through creative exploration. She utilizes a mix of teaching philosophies depending on the needs of her students. She has studied a range of educational theories, including Reggio Emilia, Montessori, and Differentiated Learning, among others, and chooses parts of each to incorporate into her teaching style. She believes in teaching towards an appreciation of art and an understanding of the creative process more than a focus on the end product.
The two passions of her life—art and teaching—are fully entwined.
