Welcome to CRMS Art with Mrs. Warchol

Hello artists, and welcome to my page! This website is a great resource for class handouts, Art Club information, project examples, and links to lots of art related topics. Feel free to click around and explore. For daily updates from the classroom, please visit our Instagram page: crms_art.   

My name is Stephanie Warchol and I have been teaching art in Pittsford for eleven years. I began teaching at Sutherland High School, and then for a while I traveled between both middle schools before finding my home at CRMS. I teach art to all three grade levels, am the CRMS Art Club advisor, and the CRMS Art Department Leader. I am also the Executive Vice President of The Pittsford District Teachers' Association. 

I have been involved in the arts since I was in high school. I went to The University at Buffalo where I received my BFA with a concentration in photography. I worked as a photographer right out of college and still own my own photography business. After about five years I decided to go back to college to get my Masters Degree and teaching certificate from Nazareth College. 

I love to travel (especially to the Adirondacks), run & ride my bike, and take photographs of nature. You can often find me at local art museums and festivals. I love to see art, make art, and learn about new art mediums. I love art so much that I married a graphic designer. Mr. Warchol is a Senior Art Director at Partners + Napier and designs advertisements that can be found on TV, the radio, online, on billboards, and even on buses! We have a Boston Terrier named Rocko, he is kind of artistic, but mostly makes sculptures out of chewed shoes!
