Diana Hampe, an art teacher for over thirty years, was chosen as Teacher of the Year by the faculty of the Art Education Department at Mass Art. She has won numerous other awards for her teaching, including twice being named Outstanding Art Educator by the Massachusetts Art Education Association, and has been a frequent presenter at National, Massachusetts, and New England Art Education Association conferences. Since 1987 she has taught at Walpole High School and for the past ten years has beenVisual Arts Curriculum Coordinator. Diana Hampe’s curriculum decisions have always been informed by her own professional development (including a MFA from Boston University in 2002), her studio experiences, and museum and gallery visits, which keep her students current and connected to the art world beyond the classroom. She was responsible for building the sequential art program at Walpole High that has grown from six sections of art to twenty and that offers students several AP courses in drawing and design.
