I have had the privilege to work with many diverse poupulations teaching art over the years.
I have compiled some images of mixed-media works created from students from over a ten year period from Community Colleges, Universities and many different community settings with Artists In The Schools Programs. I teach 3d design, black and white design, color theory, painting
and drawing as well as mixed-media projects in community settings that
focus on the conceptual self-portrait.
I am proud of students work that goes beyond rendering or representation and begins to touch upon their own personal story and language of visual narrative. I believe this is achieved by providing a plethora of mixed media techniques that include drawing, painting, collage, installation and an encouragement to not only allow and accept what might be called a "mistake" and to embrace with an inquisitive mind "limitations" and make these an integrative part of individual process which I believe leads participants to individual authenticity.
