My Students

My students are amazing and a joy to work with. My school is a kindergarten though eighth grade charter school in Anchorage, Alaska. The students here are primarily Alaskan Native with ancestry in many Alaskan Native tribes including Tlingit, Haida, Unangan, Athabaskan, and many others.

My school's focus on cultural learning and native ways of knowing has inspired me to teach my students about Alaskan Native arts and culture.

I encourage my students to treat my classroom as their studio and a place where they are safe and free to express themselves. In this way, my students can not only learn about their rich and diverse culture, but they can also help to contribute to it.

My Project

My art students are wonderful painters. This year I want to put that talent to good use improving our school. We recently built an amazing garden in front of our school featuring plants from every corner of Alaska. I want to use these painting supplies to create a colorful inviting walkway though our garden.

Every student will help complete this collaborative art project by contributing a rock designed and pained by them to the walk way.

My students can be proud to have helped in the beautification and improvement of their school. This project can be expanded in future years so new students can add their own rocks as the walk way grows. I can't wait to see the look on my students faces when they look for their part of the painted walk way.
