My Students

Many of my kids come from very poor homes and difficult circumstances. This is only the second full-time year that art is being taught in our school. Each project brings new challenges, but my kids are very excited each time they see what they can achieve.

My art class has been a safe haven, and I want that feeling to continue.

The more supplies I have for my kids to work with, the more likely they will stay out of trouble.

My Project

We will be creating Harlem Renaissance inspired acrylic paintings using the 16"x20" canvas boards. This is an exciting project for my kids because it allows them the freedom of changing a masterpiece to suit their personal taste. One of my children had her painting chosen as a semi-finalist in last year's Metropolitan Museum of Art student's show.

The smaller canvas boards will be used during paint night.

We gather students and their parents after school and recreate a chosen painting together. Each child goes home with a special memory of the evening to hang on their wall. It is a popular gathering.
