Hi I'm Mrs. Bacon. I am the Visual Arts teacher here at Hampton Cove Middle. I have the best job in the world and I am happy to be part of the team here at Hampton Cove. Middle school visual art is a great opportunity for students to try different mediums in Visual Art. In art class students are introduced to drawing, painting, printmaking, collage, graphic design, photography and sculpture.
A little about me, I was lucky enough to be born into an art family. I had a paintbrush in my hand before I could walk. I graduated from the University of Montevallo with a degree in Fine Arts with a concentration in Photography and a minor in Mass Communication. I spent the first 20 years of my career as a successful Photographer and Marketing Director. I have always wanted to teach and share my passion for the arts with others.
