About Me

My photo
Courtney Edgerton Murphy
I am a full time mommy, wife and art teacher. I have been teaching elementary ART for 12 years at Polenta Elementary. I believe that I have the best job in the world because I get a chance to instill a love for the arts to my 1,000+ students. I am inspired by all the other art teachers blogging and wanted to share what goes on in my art room. Many of these lessons have been borrowed from some of these fabulous art teachers. Hope you enjoy!!
