Mrs. Christina Schaffer
Hello Students and Parents,
My name is Christina Schaffer and I have been an art teacher for 17 years. I love being an art teacher! I have taught elementary school, middle, teen and adult classes. I love learning about new artists, especially 21st Century Artists! My husband is a science teacher, I have two amazing, energetic daughters, and one cuddly dog. I can´t wait to make Art together this semester!
