I'm Amy Hall, an artist, musician, and teacher. I am a practicing artist, making and selling my artwork online and locally (such as my latest show at the Blue Dahlia Bistro on E 11th St., Austin). I have been been singing and writing songs for 20 years and have recorded 5 albums, the most recent being "Keep Out the Cold", a solo album of original songs, released in 2009. I currently advertise online to paint portraits, and I play music regularly at Mochas & Javas, San Marcos. My passion, however, is teaching, and I am certified to teach all-level Art and Music.
I love teaching! I am enthusiastic and personally interested in inspiring my students and colleagues to love school. I'm a people-person. I am fascinated by people and love to draw them out. I love get some original thought or expression out of them. I am a champion of the individual! I value uniqueness. I believe that all learning is connected. Art and music are vehicles for learning the other subjects. The arts expand cognition by pushing the limits of critical thinking, open-ended problem solving, and creativity.
