Hello Raiders!!!!

First off, I would like to introduce myself. I am Ms. Pappas, the Middle School Art Teacher at Sunnyvale Middle School!

I studied at Texas A&M Commerce and UNT, and earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and an EC-12 Art Certification.

I am so excited to get to know you all and to share this coming year with you! 

We will be learning about The Elements of Art and Principles of Design through various methods of Art. Below are some supplies I would like each student to have. If there are concerns about getting these supplies, please email me! 

I advise every student to have the following supplies that they carry around with them to use in the art room.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns about getting these supplies.
