Hello everyone,

My name is Andrew Dowis and I am a high school (grades 9-12) Visual Arts teacher at Bay City Central in Bay City, Michigan.  When asked what I teach, I always like to reply, growing minds.  The three main courses I instruct are drawing, painting, and three – dimensional design.  There is never a dull moment as an art teacher, assisting with projects, and making decorations but the organized chaos is exhilarating.


I spend most of my past time with my family and friends.  I enjoy the great outdoors, hunting, fishing, prepping (including watching the Walking Dead), golfing, and coaching football.  However, the free time has been minimal with Masters' courses, an almost 3 year old and a one year old.

The end of year activities in my school including, the talent show, musical and graduation ceremonies will be stressful but I am looking forward to this class.  I am hoping to learn a multitude of strategies for my profession and being able share my discoveries with my peers.

    Nice blog Mr. Dowis. Two more classes and we are all done! It's been a fun journey and a lot of work but very beneficial.
