My Project
I LOVE that my students are SURVIVORS. We are a “Second Chance” school for troubled teens who’ve been cast out of mainstream schools. These kids deserve every positive experience possible to help them discover their talents and build their confidence. My art program is dedicated to building them up through creating. Most are not art students, but they enter my room and feel SAFE enough to try. The are ALWAYS successful! We have done loads of paper-based activities using all mediums and techniques and now they need something new and challenging to build them further. My students will benefit so much from the challenge and excitement of a bas relief sculpture; something completely different from anything they’ve already done. They’ll learn how to use carving tools to create a 3D portrait they can keep for years. It’s an excellent finale to a productive year!
