Welcome to Art!
My name is Michael Kantor, this is my 4th year as an elementary art specialist. I am excited to be starting the art program at Cedar Creek Community School! I like painting, ceramics, sculpture, photography, and drawing. I love all sports, and local sports teams, especially the Wild. I enjoy going to valleyfair and being outside. I spend my summers working at Hazeltine National Golf Club, in Chaska, MN.
Summer is long gone and the school year is here! This school year will be different than any I have ever experienced before. I have the privilege of STARTING the elementary art program at my school. (That's right, a district who is ADDING art! Woohoo!) The classroom had been a random assortment of other classes in the 6 years since our district has had elementary art, and let me tell you, cleaning the random tools, books, and supplies was a daunting task! As the clutter turned into an organized mess, I started to see how my classroom would look. This will be my 4th year teaching and my first time really having a feel for how I want my class to look.

My rules turned from paragraphs into a simple acronym.
I am more visual with the elements and principles of art.
The paints and brushes are sorted (Rainbow order)
Table bins are sorted and labeled by color.
Drawing books are at a good elementary height.
aaaaaaand finally my drawing mannequins and Vinny found a new home.
