I’m Ms. Adene, and I teach visual art to approximately 300 kindergarten through fifth-grade students at PS 19 the Curtis School in Staten Island. My students are imaginative, hardworking young artists with ideas worth sharing. They bring their personalities, languages, cultures, and curiosity to everything they create. Our Title I school serves a diverse community where many families face financial challenges. Every child deserves access to good art materials, time to explore, and someone who believes in their ideas. I want my students to have the supplies to show the world what they can do. My goal is to help them become forward-thinking artists and creative problem solvers. In our choice-based art lessons, students develop their own ideas, choose materials, experiment, and work through challenges. They learn that there can be many ways to solve a problem and that trying again is part of making something meaningful. We look at the work of artists from different cultures, including Latino and Latin American artists, and make room for each child’s own voice. Students share work in progress, offer kind and useful feedback, and decide which suggestions fit their artistic choices. Your support will help us draw, paint, collage, weave, and build. Most of all, it will give these young artists more opportunities to create something that is truly their own and share it with pride. Thank you for helping their ideas become art!
