Welcome to Art Class!
Mr. Micah Kraus
Nervous About…
• …your art skills?– Don’t be! You took this class to learn about art not
because you are already a master artist.• …school starting?– It’s okay! Take it on week, one day, one class
period at a time. The year will FLY by.
Mr. Kraus

photographer• Retread, Akron• Married to Ms.
Eggleston-Kraus (ceramics teacher)

Consider This…
• Experience is the best teacher.• A mistake is the first step towards a new
discovery.• The seeds of growth are fertilized by failed
attempts.• Surpass your expectations.

designed changed the way architecture and engineering was understood

LEARNING!
