Women of Distinction Magazine Selects Jolanta Paterek as a Distinguished Professional in Her Field

    COVINGTON, GA, January 23, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Jolanta Paterek, Associate Professor at Georgia Perimeter College, has been recognized as a Distinguished Professional in her field through Women of Distinction Magazine. Jolanta Paterek will be featured in the upcoming edition of the Women of Distinction Magazine in 2016.

Currently serving as an Associate Professor of Fine Arts, Arts and Humanities, at Georgia Perimeter College since 2010, Jolanta Paterek's goal is to encourage thinking in rational ways so that it can be applied in other unfamiliar situations. She particularly emphasizes learning to think about trends and directions, rather than rote memorization of facts. Her course activities in the classroom are organized, competent, and thorough, and she prides in always being prepared for each lesson. Equally important to her is making sure that her students informed in the beginning of the course about all assignments, topics, tests, and final exams.

"Being a philanthropist has helped me raise my knowledge in art history and as an artist," Ms. Paterek said, "to become a professional in these fields, so that I may deliver this knowledge to my students with higher educational standards with a creative approach. Because of my knowledge, experience, and passion of art, I am able to awaken the desires in students to study and obtain their own knowledge of art history and essentially feel art for art's sake."

Throughout the 15 years Ms. Paterk has contributed to the field, she has attended workshops, conferences, and exhibitions, and has researched the study of art history, tracing the old and the newest trends so that she can share discussions and information with other professionals in the field, as well as friends, colleagues, and students.

Ms. Paterek previously spent time in graphic design before becoming an instructor. Prior to teaching at Georgia Perimeter College, she taught at Georgia Southern University in Continued Education as a Fine Arts Instructor. She has enjoyed many years travelling and exhibiting her artwork in across New York and Europe. A member of a several organizations over they years, including Gadsden Art Association and Woman of the Impact, she has also earned numerous awards, including a Focht Award, Marshall County First Place Award, and Hartselle Festival Depot Days First Place Award. Ms. Paterek holds a MFA in Mixed Media from Georgia Southern University.
