Angie/Mrs.Dottie
Certified Art Teacher

Angie Villa (Mrs. Dottie)

I am a mom, art teacher, visual artist and musician from Allentown, PA. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Studio Art from Moravian College, and Teaching Certification in Art Education from Kutztown University. I taught Elementary and Middle School Art in the Allentown School District for seven years. After taking time off to raise a child, I am now substitute teaching and teaching as an artist in residence in public schools. I am a faculty member at The Baum School of Art where I teach an art class for children ages 4-6.

The arts are essential to the school curriculum.

The arts are essential to the school curriculum.
Art, music, PE, library, social studies, and recess must be mandatory subjects.
Education is not a race with winners and losers.
