My Students

I teach visual art in a Title I high school in the city of Richmond. My students faced trauma and uncertainty in their daily lives before the pandemic and this year their obstacles are more numerous. They will go without in-person support from their teachers. My classroom is a place that is consistent, safe, and provides room for imaginations to grow and heal. My classroom will be virtual. With enough support, these young artists will thrive despite their obstacles if I can provide some of the safety they are used to. I am renewing my devotion to teaching student-centered, trauma-informed lessons.

My Project

Student artists at JMHS will need support this Fall. Most students do not have art supplies at home and our school budget does not cover supplies for each student. By giving sketchbooks to artists to keep at home, they will have a safe and organized place for their artwork, and plenty of space for student-centered art assignments and personal journaling.

I will be teaching a lot differently this year and pledge to address social justice issues, and provide personal assignments to help students through a very difficult season in their lives.

Sketchbooks are indispensable tools for visual arts virtual learning because they can be used for relationship building and assignments can be easily checked for understanding. Students will benefit immensely from this simple tool.
