The Best Teacher

Reasons why they were the best

Best teacher I ever had!My favorite teacher would have to be my high school art teacher. His name was Mike Tiano, and I loved him to death! He was so helpful all the time, and would even make up a new class just so I could take more art classes (because I had already taken every art class my school offered). Mr. Tiano was amazing at art, and I looked up to him so much! He made me want to become an art teacher, I really cant say why, but I know it was him that made me love art so much! I hope to one day affect someone like he affected me in my art classes

This is certainly not Mr. Tiano’s art, but he created things very realistic like this and it was amazing! His other specialty was cartoons, and those are on completely opposite spectrums.. Which obviously makes him very talented!
