Hello!

My name is Parker Webber, a Phoenixville graphic artist and an art educator at Reading High School.

Prior to my current journey in education, I worked as a graphic artist for 8 years. During this time I was lucky enough to support both domestic and international clients on a variety of projects. Feel free to explore my site and reach out with any questions. Thanks!

Philosophy

As educators, we are constantly challenged to define and support student success. In the art classroom, success looks different for every student. It may be technical growth, increased confidence, a willingness to take risks, or the ability to communicate an idea visually with clarity and intention.

I believe expression through art is a fundamental part of the human experience. Fine arts education gives students a structured space to explore identity, perspective, and creativity while developing technical skill. Choice, exploration, imagination, and even failure are essential components of the creative process. When students are given ownership over their work, they form deeper connections to their art and to the community around them.

I view the art classroom as a studio community, one built on respect, thoughtful critique, and shared growth. Every creation deserves care and consideration, and every student deserves to feel heard. My role is to guide students through both the discipline and freedom of artistic practice, helping them understand that growth often comes through revision, persistence, and reflection.

I recognize that I am one part of a much larger journey in each student’s life. My goal is to create an environment where students feel supported, challenged, and capable, where they can grow as artists while gaining the confidence and resilience that will serve them beyond the classroom.
