My Students
I work at a high school where we have a diverse low-income population. My students struggle every day with issues that would surprise most people. Within this population, passion and drive help them to succeed but we need more tools to help them get there.
I'm in charge of the Multimedia Academy where I get to see students driven by their passion and overcome their daily obstacles.
Some go on to be professional artists and some walk away with the knowledge to appreciate art and the world around them.
My Project
I'm currently taking a printmaking class, and I learned how to incorporate it into my classroom. When I used some supplies and saw the outcomes, I realized how much my students would be successful with these processes.
Having success with a specific medium helps students gain confidence with other materials.
I can already picture their faces of amazement and joy when they pull their prints. There are so many techniques that they can try with these materials and equipment. I can't wait to help guide them with their exploration and self-expression.
