Rich Stolt
Growing up in Detroit, Michigan had two major influences on my life, a unique aesthetic appreciation for the beauty of decay, and the understanding that an art education is essential to all learners. My first art class was in 10th grade, all other experiences were through learning on my own or with the classroom teacher. These lack of experiences, later fueled the motivation to make sure that young people would have a more enriched education. The art lessons that are presented in my room are full of history, science, math, writing, and most importantly art from the prehistoric ages, to the old masters, and contemporary artists of today. My teaching experience spans over twenty-five years educating at all levels from summer camps, elementary, middle, and high school art and even some college experience. My primary job for the last twenty-four years is at Allisonville Elementary School where I teach kindergarten through fifth grade art. Teaching and practicing art go hand in hand for me, modeling to my students and myself that innovative art comes through hard work and determination. My artwork can be viewed on Facebook as Rich Stolt or www.instagram.com/studiostoltpainting and a variety of my classroom lessons can be seen on my YouTube channel www.youtube.com/@REALARTwithMiniStolt
