Process Art
Denise Gilliam
Ms. Wilmer attended Delaware Technical Community College, where she earned her Teaching Certification. She has been part of the CCEP family for four years and has been working with children for 10 years. Ms. Wilmer has a deep passion for children, stating that "they just seem to be drawn to me." She loves teaching art because it allows her to help children become artists, decision-makers, and creators. Ms. Wilmer is grateful for the opportunity to teach children how to express their creativity through process art activities.
Mrs. Wilmer has an 8-year-old daughter named Nalani, a 10-year-old bonus son named Jaidyn whom she shares with her loving partner, and a Yorkie puppy named Luca.
The art enrichment program focuses on the process of creating art and recognizes that the process is more important than the product. Process-focused art experiences do not have step-by-step instructions or examples for the children to follow. There is no right or wrong way to explore and create because the focus is on the experience and the exploration of techniques, tools, and materials. Each student’s piece is unique and original. The experience is relaxing, creative, and entirely the child’s choice.
