Welcome!
I am very pleased to welcome you to my website where you will find information helpful to your middle school art education, and extra curricula activities I am involved in.
When you step in my art room be prepared to explore, observe, design and create!
Check out the latest photos of students' work below!
Here is a little bit of information about me...
My name is Peter Midgley, and I am from England, in the UK. I have been an Art teacher since 2005, the same year I married my wife who grew up in Bethalto. We were in England from 2005 to 2010 where I taught art to 11-18 year olds, before we decided to move to Bethalto to be near my wife's family. We have a 7th grade daughter, and a son in 4th grade. We love movies, playing Lego's, camping and soccer!
I subbed in Bethalto during 2010-2011 school year, while I worked on getting my Illinois art teaching credentials. I can say with all honesty I love teaching art at Trimpe. The kids here are eager to learn new techniques, improve on existing skills and expand their knowledge of the art world. That makes me smile.
Thanks for taking a look at the website, and please feel free to contact me via email to ask any questions.

ILLINOIS VISUAL ART STANDARDS
The link above takes you to Illinois' Visual Art standards document, from Kindergarten - High School. It is my job to select some and have our students explore them thoroughly over their 3 years at Trimpe. Below is an example of one Standard, and how it has higher expectations over each grade level, from 6th-8th grade:
