Hello there!

Renee Jayne
I believe that students are capable of creating amazing art at any age, and my job is to inspire and empower them to think and work like artists. In my classroom, I am the facilitator and guide, giving students opportunities to create and solve artistic problems and have fun making art. I have been teaching art since 2008 in Jeffco. When I'm not teaching or making art you can find me hanging out with my husband and three kids. We enjoy hiking, camping, dirt bike riding, riding bikes and scooting around our neighborhood. If I get time for myself then I'm doing yoga, walking the dog, gardening, or just reading a book. Often you will find me chilling on my porch swing, one of my favorite places.
Important Information
Art can be messy but …
Art enhances fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, problem solving skills, lateral thinking, complex analysis and critical thinking skills. Art education increases creativity and open-mindedness. Creativity is cited by business leaders as the top leadership competency for the future.
Original Works Fundraiser
