Hi everyone! My name is Tim von Holten. I have lived in Lawrence for about 25 years, but have been commuting to the Blue Valley school district for 14 years. I taught 5th grade before making the switch to art. Before teaching I was a graphic designer/art director/marketing manager. Now, in addition to teaching, I like to make pottery and play drums. My kids went through Lawrence Public Schools, and I’m happy to be here at Quail Run! My art program is a choice-based studio. This means that after each short lesson, students are free to work on projects of their choosing in the centers that I have opened that day. During this time I guide and support, helping your children realize what they visualize. Feel free to ask me about it - I can go on and on. I look forward to meeting/teaching your children.
