The Child Discovers Art
Inspiring parents and teachers to help children create their own art.
“I believe that all children, if they so desire, be encouraged to have many opportunities to create visual artworks made from their own imaginations or observations.” Joan Primm
My professional life’s work has been teaching children and adults artistic skills and knowledge. I am founder and creator of the True Child Art concept. I have taught K-12 children in elementary and museum classrooms and adults in professional development courses
at many universities in California.
I received a BA in Art and Secondary Education Credential from California State University San Diego (CSUSD); a General Elementary Credential from Chapman University and a MA in Art Education from California State University Long Beach (CSULB).
