My name is Mrs. Murillo and I have the pleasure of teaching Art to Kinder through 5th grade
here at Knowlton Elementary. This will be my fourth year teaching Art full-time, I taught part-time
for 7 years prior. After graduating from Southwest Texas State University, I worked as a Graphic
Designer for several years before landing an opportunity to teach. Once I did, I was hooked and
have been doing it ever since.
I love sharing what I know about Art with the students and seeing their reactions when they
learn something new. The students will learn that creating a drawing or painting can be like
telling a story... but in pictures! We look at paintings, sculptures, and other artwork and peruse
children’s book illustrations and talk about what the artist or illustrator is trying to tell us. The
students will learn the fundamentals of Art but will also have the opportunity to explore mediums
and techniques they may not have experienced before.
