About+Me

This will contain information about me and what kind of art I like to create. Enjoy!!

My name is Judy Klimek. I moved to the Denver area in May 2006. I love the area and all it has to offer. I have been teaching at Grant Beacon Middle School for 5 years. 2012-2013 should be an awesome year, with Blended Learning being a part of instruction in some of the classrooms. In the art classroom, I am planning of having some days where we can dabble in the Blended Learning.

My family is very important to me. My husband and I have been married over 34 years we are both creative, and have been spending the last 5 years remodeling our home and landscaping our yard. We have two kids, actually they are adults now, my son has been married for several years and has one child, my granddaughter. Who I have really enjoyed watching her grow up. She likes to draw, and shares her drawings with grandma all the time.

I am certified to teach K-12 art. I love teaching art and fostering the love of art in my students. It is very gratifying to see them excel at something they didn't think they were capable of. Or to find an interest they didn't realize they had. I am hoping several of my students will go on to study art in high school and eventually college.

Prior to coming to Denver, I taught 9-12 art in Nebraska, and before that I taught K-8 art in Iowa. I enjoy hearing from former students that are now studying art, it is very rewarding to see that. I enjoy teaching art, and consider it a privilege to teach at Grant Middle School.

As an artist I create paintings with an airbrush, I also enjoy drawing with graphite, and occasionally will experiment with different media.
