Johnsen will put her Outstanding Art Educator award to good use this summer with Edgemoor’s Art Rocks! Camps. All cite her solid work ethic and dedication to teaching fine arts while making sure that students enjoy themselves. Although Johnsen herself was surprised by the award, members of her studio and their parents were not. Several of Edgemoor’s students have won prestigious awards in the community, including 1st place for Acrylic Painting in the Chinn Regional Library’s Creative Art Contest in 2014, and 1st and 2nd place consistently at the annual Prince William County Fair. Johnsen also runs phonics lessons for preschoolers and hosts her highly popular “Arty Parties” Her birthday themes are customized for the child, and range from the ever-popular Frozen to Minecraft to zoo parties, complete with elegant and elaborate decorations and a self-made artwork, which each child gets to take home. Classes run throughout the weekday for homeschoolers and younger children, as well as after-school and Saturday classes for school-age students who would like to further explore their art interests and become creative thinkers. The main emphasis of each class is to nurture the child’s individual creativity and encourage that process to increase both skill and self-confidence.
