My Students

In a public charter school that pulls students from all over the state, my students have a unique hunger for learning and discovering. As a new school, we have big ideas with high energy and motivation.

My students are diving into projects that explore a variety of techniques and explore context using art history and self reflection.

They are eager to learn new techniques and explore different media in our studio art classroom. I hope to inspire students to think creatively in art, academics, and in their lives and to consider the context and deeper meaning in their work.

My Project

Having a ladder and building equipment allows students to see their work prominently displayed and for them to create art on a much larger scale. My students are currently working to complete their second mural and the lack of proper tools is slowing them down. With the proper tools, students can see their work come to life much quicker. This helps to keep the momentum going for future projects.

Having a ladder will help me to display student work in the hallway and cafeterias, building student self-esteem and pride.

School community is built when students encourage each other's work and discuss their learning.
