April Busch

Hi! I’m April Busch, and I teach the full range of high school art classes, from Introduction to Art to AP Studio. I received my bachelor’s degree in art education from the University of Iowa and my master’s degree in art education from Boston University. I have taught all ages K-12 in a variety of settings, from the rural Midwest to Phoenix, with a few summer camps sprinkled in. Now that I have taught the same classes for the last several years and my kids are getting older, my next goal is to become a practicing artist. If I am not teaching or working on curriculum, I am usually watching my kids play soccer, running, reading, or working on my house!
