My Students
It remains true that I am most fortunate to work with an exceptionally motivated and skilled group of Visual Arts students. The months of March - June 2021 were difficult for all of us. When school went from in-person to Remote Learning, some of my students' families were ill, some lost family members to the virus, some families lost income and financial stability; some students struggled with the workload, some grew anxious, or depressed having been separated from their friends and social lives. It was very hard.
My students are a dedicated bunch.
They deserve the very best that I can offer.
My students' lives are greatly impacted by the pandemic, as well as the movement for racial justice and social change. Despite the challenges, I have witnessed my students pull through. My students submitted beautiful artworks online, they participated in live video chats, and shared their experiences and artwork with each other! This summer some students will take a summer enrichment class, and I look forward to seeing them in person!
My Project
True learning happens by knowing what a material can do! This summer I will be teaching a Summer Enrichment art class for high school students. In this course I will be giving students a chance to work with a variety of materials - including charcoal, ink, and oil pastel. In addition to traditional techniques within each medium, they can explore the qualities and characteristics of each medium, so that they can learn how to transform those materials to create a wide variety of visual effects in their artwork. I am hoping that students will enjoy the freedom to explore!
More than half of students from low‑income households
