Years.
Dr. Mincks’ passion for creating learning for all students to advance themselves as
“literate artists” reinforced the practice, skills and exploratory opportunities promoted
within her curriculum. Her students maintained a daily sketchbook, practiced reflective
journaling, shared cognition as a class community, celebrated both process and
product of art making right alongside skill development of painting, drawing, sculpture,
fibers, and ceramics using various media.
