Julie Winegarten
Art Instructor
As the daughter of a landscape architect father and a home economics mother, Ms. Winegarten learned all of the skills to be artistic and creative as a child. She learned symmetry and asymmetry, color and texture, from both nature and her father’s designs. Ms. Winegarten received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in painting and Printmaking and taught classes in painting, printmaking, drawing, as well as Color & Amp; Design at RSC until 1995. She then moved to Oral Roberts University to teach printmaking while homeschooling her 4 children. In 2005, she began teaching in Tulsa Public Schools at McLain High School and later at Mitchell Elementary where she teaches PK-6th grade art.
Learning to “see” accurately is the most important part of drawing. If one can see it, then one can draw it. Ms. Winegarten’s goal is to help students learn to ‘see’ more accurately and therefore then draw more accurately.

She earned a college scholarship for cheer and was later named captain of the RSU cheerleading squad in Claremore.
