Jacque Sperling ready to close the book on teaching art

Story and photo by Darlene Bowers
“Art education for me is all about the students. I am there to encourage them in their art making, introduce them to old and new mediums and their uses, share artists’ lives and styles of art with them. Young artists and their enthusiasm are why I am in the classroom.”

These words are the credo of Jacque Sperling, teacher, encourager, guider, eternal cheerleader. Jacque will be retiring from her art classroom at Ada Schools in a couple short weeks.

Born and raised on an Ada farm, Jacque attended Ohio Northern University and was interested in geology and the sciences but decided upon art education for her degree.
