Welcome to Cetin Ates' Art Class 


Studio Art Design : Gifted and Talented Visual Arts, Grades : 6th to 8th 

Hello dear students and parents,
My name is Cetin Ates (Chaten Atash). I'm a sculptor and art teacher since 1997.  I was born in Turkiye and moved to USA in 2005. I began to work with EBRPSS, Gifted & Talented Program as a Talented Visual Art Teacher in 2015-16 school year. I worked with different schools and all grade students. 
My basic goal is teaching Elements of art and Principles of design to my students using variety of materials and techniques. 
The students who are receiving the Talented Visual Art service are not in the same skill and creativity level. Their characters, personality, and artistic visions also different than each other. 
​During the school year, I will have chances to know them, and seeing their skill levels. 
To me the most important thing the students should focus well on their projects and try to do their best. 
Dear parents, education is a team work. Please talk with your child about our projects and process. You can ask them to take their projects pictures to show you the process. I believe that for having a powerful/successful education needs 4 strong columns: Parent/Guardian, a student, a school and a teacher. If all these 4 columns are strong enough and supporting each others well, the success will come at the end. 
Of course you can contact me anytime using my email address. Please, if you have any questions/concerns, let me know. I will try to answer you as soon as I can. Thank you for your time. 
Have a wonderful school year to all of us.
Best Regards
Cetin Ates (Chaten Atash)
