Meet Mrs. Amie Shorter
Where are you from?
I grew up in Indiana near the Michigan
border.
What is your favorite color?
I love blue because my kids’ eyes are blue.
Who are your favorite teachers?
My favorite teacher is my third grade teacher, Mrs. Riley. She was very nice and taught us lots of
important information.
Why did you become an art
teacher?
My aunt was an artist and she influenced me, and I love drawing and
coloring because it is so comforting and relaxing. I knew I wanted to be a teacher, but when I
went to college I was discouraged to be an art teacher because many schools
don’t have them. I taught 1st,
3rd, and 5th grades but always knew my love was teaching
art.
Who inspired you?
My aunt Cindy, the artist.
What is your favorite teaching
story?
There are so many great stories, but I love the stories of where kids
think they are really not good artists but then when they see the finished
product, they get excited about what they have created.
Who is your favorite artist?
My aunt is my favorite, but I love Marie Cassatt, and the painting The Bath.
