  Ms Kotcher Art Educator
Picture


​Welcome! 
 This site is intended for students, parents, and Art Educators to share
what my students are learning in the art room. 
 My students
learn a wide variety 
of techniques and skills to give them the tools they
need to
visually express their thoughts and ideas. I teach my students to think
creatively, open their minds to new ideas​ and perspectives, embrace diversity,
challenge themselves to go beyond what they think they can do, and inspire them
​to value art as a vital part of society!


I am currently an Art Educator at the  
The International School of Kuala Lumpur (ISKL) in Malaysia.


I teach:  HS Visual Arts: Photography and Ceramics

I advise: the Student Leadership Team 
​

Courses I have taught:  AP Art History, AP Studio 2D Photography, Advanced Photography, Digital Photography, Darkroom Photography, IBDP Art IGCSE Art and Design, and Middle School Art. 

​I am  a  National Board Certified Art Educator with a B.A. Degree in  Art Education (K-12). 
I also have a Masters Degree in Education Leadership and Administration. 
I have taught in California, Hawaii, Texas, S.Korea, Vietnam, Israel, and currently in Malaysia. ​
