Hi! My name is Michelle Prior and art is my passion. I feel so blessed to be able to share this amazing world with your budding artists! I studied painting and design at APSU and art education at MTSU receiving a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in design and a Bachelor of Science degree in art ed. My passion for nurturing kids spills over into my weekends as I serve as the children's minister at our church. My home is filled with art, music and silliness thanks to my musician husband, Randy; my dancer, singer, artist, fourth grader, Sophia; my inventor, scientist, explorer, sixth grader Jonathan and a little snuggle bug, Yorkiepoo named Penny. We love to camp, hike, skate, bike, grow veggies in our garden, check out parks and museums and make art. My weaknesses are dark chocolate and Target.

Our Budding ArtistsOur budding artists will learn how artists from around the world created great works. Then we will create our own artworks infusing inspiration from those artists and our own imagination into our wonderful masterpieces. Check out what your budding artist is exploring now, in our learn more link.

Nurturing Budding ArtistsThere are lots of ways you can help nurture our budding artists at school and home. You can collect Box Tops to help us earn more art supplies for our studio. You can donate Crayola watercolors and Sharpies because we use a ton. You can set up a mini art studio at home with paper, crayons, washable watercolors and markers. Ask you artist to tell you more about their work and display their work in a special place in your home.
