Katharine DeAntonio feels called to help children develop a love of beauty, especially by teaching traditional draftsmanship, since teaching children to draw also teaches them to see. The opportunity to teach art in a classical, Christian context is a dream come true for Katharine. Katharine’s father and grandfather were both artists, and she began drawing before she could walk and hasn’t stopped since. When she isn’t building her skills as an artist or having fun with doodles, Katharine enjoys reading, travel, and taking nature walks. Her favorite thing is watching her students' ‘aha!’ moments. Katharine currently attends one of the colleges of William and Mary online and will be teaching draftsmanship and helping incorporate art appreciation into the curriculum.
