My name is Collin Clarke and I have been teaching art at RLHS since 2014, but I lived in Round Lake for the majority of my life. 

I teach the 2D side of our art department, including the AP and Independent Study classes. 

It is my job to teach students skills and technical abilities so they are unencumbered when expressing their ideas and thoughts through their artwork. 

I believe that we learn best when presented with challenging assignments, and my courses reflect that philosiphy. 

I do everything in my power to make the art room a safe and inviting space where people can be free to be themselves without the fear of judgement. 

All I ask from my students is that they are honest and try their best.
