Welcome to my blog! My name is Elaina DePetro. I am a current graduate student at West Virginia University getting my Masters in Art Education with an emphasis in Art History. On this site, I invite you to explore my example of teaching lessons, and freelance work and learn a little more about me. As I continue my master’s degree journey, I will continue to update you on my adventure!
For my blog, I picked the name “Teaching Yinz Art”. I grew up in Pittsburgh, where the term Yinz is used as a second-person plural pronoun. It is thought to have come from the Scots-Irish who settled in the region and used the term “you ones”. My goal with the title of my blog was to connect to my deep roots within Pittsburgh and arts education within the region.
