My Students

My students are both mathematicians and artists that range from seventh through twelfth grade in a variety of courses, including Algebra 1A, 8th-grade art cycle, year-round 9-12th grade Art, and yearbook.

My students love to create and have a passion for learning.

Through mathematics and art, my students are learning there are several paths to take when approaching problems and that all problems can have more than one solution.

My Project

In these trying times of COVID, I want to be able to provide to my artists a pair of sneakers that they can use their art skills to customize to their own liking that they can wear to help with health and wellness.

With a new pair of sneakers, my artists can create an individualized pair of running sneakers that will help inspire them to get out and be active and help boost their spirits!

Kids who are highly active are more likely to get good grades and continue their education. It is my hope these pairs of individualized and customized with art sneakers will help my artists stay active and well not only this year but even after they graduate!

This project was completed last year by my seniors and was a big success. I am hoping to continue doing this project with my artists with your help!
