My lifelong passion for art education drives me to build strong foundations in fine art for all my students. My expertise spans a wide range of media and techniques, from painting and sketching to clay. I constantly seek innovative ways to inspire my students and push the boundaries of their creativity.
Bethany Stitt
Art Teacher
My name is Bethany Stitt, I am a 2024 Graduate from Cal State University Fullerton with a major in Entertainment Art/Animation. I am very passionate about art, and I can’t imagine a life without creativity. I love to create my own fictional characters, and I even directed a group short film during my last semester in college. When I’m not drawing I like to visit new places and take photographs with my film camera. I love to travel and hope to visit more places around the world so I can take photos there.
