Darcy Marlow is a local artist who has been teaching art for
over 20 years. She joined Stevens School in the spring of
the 2007 - 08 school year as the Artist-in-Residence. In
this position, she has had many wonderful and exciting
experiences with the students and art. Darcy frequents many
of the classrooms as much as twice a month. She teaches
everything from drawing skills and art concepts, to lessons
that focus on enhancing curriculum. In October, the third
grade students created a sound machine sculpture, using
recycled materials, that the entire student body was invited
to experience during recesses one day. Darcy also supports
the teachers in their art endeavors and keeps the teachers
well supplied with art materials.
Darcy is a mother of three children, ages 5, 10, and 12.
She teaches art at her children's school as well. She loves
teaching art so much she even teaches art camps during
breaks! As an artist, Darcy is currently working with mixed
media. Darcy truly believes that within everyone lies an
artist, and it her job to help that child discover what kind
of artist they want to be, whether it sculpture, chef, or
fabric designer, formal painter, gardener, or just with
creative living. Darcy believes strongly in the process,
and the joy of exploration in art. Products are a wonderful
bonus, but the real excitement of art is unveiling the
unknown.
