Joan Aracichart teacherMy Epsilen About I have been teaching art to children for over 25 years--8 years teaching eighth grade, ten years at the high school level and, presently, I work with K-6 (over 400 students per week). For most of my teaching career, I have worked in the Mount Vernon City School District, a suburb of New York City. The schools are mostly "urban" in nature, with most students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. I find that teaching children who are less privileged is quite a challenge, but a rewarding endeavor. Those who are less verbal are usually most creative and artistic !
