Wharton Center connects professional arts educators to classrooms and teachers in Mid-Michigan. Through this residency, a teaching artist leads a series of workshops for educators throughout the year, supporting them in learning methods to integrate different art forms into their curriculum.
Garrett Brown is a national teaching artist who specializes in cartooning, illustration, and sequential art (comic books). He earned a BFA in Studio Art from the University of Missouri Kansas City, where he resides with his family. He earned a master’s degree in Elementary Education from the University of Missouri St. Louis.
While Garrett has over a decade of highly qualified experience as an Art Specialist, it is his years as a classroom teacher that give him an appreciation and perspective for designing projects that both students and teachers find engaging and worthwhile.
