Welcome to the McKeel Academy Visual Arts Program!  I am Mrs. Joni Zimmerman and I am excited for the adventures that 2025-2026 may bring!   I graduated from Radford University (Radford, VA) in 1996 with my Bachelors of Science in Studio Art.  This year marks my 27th year teaching Visual Arts in Polk County and my 7th year at MAT!  This year I will be teaching middle school Exploring 2D Design, high school 2-D Art, Drawing, Painting and AP 2D Design.  

SUPPLIES: I put together Art Kits that have all supplies that students will need for their course.  Students will need to purchase the kit that corresponds with their course via McKeel Online Office (credit), during orientation (cash or check) or in class (cash or check) by Monday, August 11.

**If your student is taking a 2-D art class and has previously purchased a kit, they may bring that kit back and pay a reduced fee to update a few supplies and receive a new journal. **  

*Painting Class Kit $45

*Drawing Class Kit $45

*2-D Art Class Kit (High School) $30

*Exploring 2-D Art Class Kit (Middle School) $30


I am looking forward to a great year. Please feel free to email me if you have any questions.

FYI: The ART room is located in the back corner of the cafeteria.
