Mr. Clifton Tinker
I am an art teacher because I love art, and I hope to be as inspiring to my students as my art teachers were to me.
Mr. Tinker has taught art in public school since 1994. He has been teaching art at James Madison High School since 2000. He is also the Madison Fine Arts Chair. His art students have earned numerous scholarships and awards over the years including the Grand Champion in the San Antonio Rodeo Western Art contest. He has a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the Univeristy of Houston, and Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting from The University of Texas at San Antonio, and a Master of Fine Arts in Art History from the University of Texas at San Antonio. He also works as a professional artist. He designed the 80,000 square feet of banners that decorated the Alamodome for the San Antonio Spurs. He designed the official poster for the 100th anniversary of the San Antonio Library. He has most recently designed numerous shopping bags and kitchen items for HEB, of which he has sold about 500,000 items.

Those with financial difficulties preventing them from purchasing a kit need to make contact with their teacher to make arrangements.
SOME NOTES:
- The Madison Art Department follows all NEISD District and Campus policies and rules. It is important for our students to follow dress code, the electronics policy, and all campus rules as directed by the district and administration.
- Please keep an updated email address on file as this is the most efficient way we communicate. Students, please check your school emails regularly.
- Safe and secure art studio rooms are our top priority! All students are expected to conduct themselves with maturity and respect for the learning environment, teacher, and fellow art students.
- Art course syllabi can be found on each art teacher’s NEISD Madison Website. Additionally, visit the Skyward Family Access for important information about your child’s progress and grades. Students were given paper syllabi to refer to as well
- Art contests and exhibits: There are many opportunities for student work to be shown. Information will be available to you throughout the school year.
- The Art Department sponsors a National Art Honor Society for upper level students. Art Club is open to all Madison students, including Art I students.
