About Me

My name is Michelle Mattoon. I'm starting my tenth year of teaching in public schools in the Dallas area. My first job at both a high school and middle school taught me almost more than a first year teacher should know.

My second job at an elementary school I held for seven years. I learned a lot there, met some friends I hope to have forever, and taught around eighteen hundred children, all told. Currently I'm employed at a high school.

Calliope Arts is my blog. I named it after the Greek muse, one of the personifications of inspiration. I'll be using it to tell people the things that I've learned about learning how to make art, and sometimes about teaching other people to make art.

Let me know what you think at msmattoon@gmail.com.
