Ms. Musaad

Hello!

My name is Ms. Musaad, and I’m thrilled to be your Visual Arts teacher. Art is more than just creating—it's about exploring, experimenting, and expressing yourself creatively.

In our classroom, we’ll dive into a variety of mediums and techniques. My goal is to help each student discover their unique creative voice, build confidence in their skills, and develop a deeper appreciation for the world of art.

I can’t wait to see the amazing things we’ll create together this year!
