Hello My Name Is...
Paul Abrahamsen
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Paul Abrahamsen and I am the art teacher at Blenheim Elementary Middle School. I received my BFA from Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia. I have worked professionally in graphic art related fields for over 30 years before returning to school for a MAT (Master in the Art of Teaching) from Lander university in Greenwood, South Carolina.
I am excited to be not only pursuing my passion for the arts but also passing on that passion or at least a deeper appreciation for the arts, to your students. The art room is the incubator for exploring, developing and fine tuning the creative and problem solving skills your students will need as they move into the twenty first century.
I look forward to getting to know your students and passing on a passion and also learning valuable life lessons from them. The classroom is a two way street and I think I learn as much from my students as they learn from me.
Thank you for the tremendous opportunity to be an instrumental part of your students lives. It is a privilege and responsibility that I take very seriously.
