My Students

My students are highly creative and passionate about their art. Because of our school's focus on contemporary art, they are committed to exploring art of all types. My high school students are in grades 9-12, and many see me for four years.

My students are eager to develop their art to become college and career ready.

To that end, we partner with arts organizations such as the Morgan Library Museum and the New York Art Deco Society and others to obtain real-world feedback and experiences.

My students are eager to develop as artists and students and participate fully in opportunities to do so.

My Project

My students start the year by creating Zines (DYI mini-magazines) to introduce themselves to their classmates in an artwork they create.

The materials that you are funding will make their work pop, due to the brilliant colors of the special markers and the fine lines of the Pitt markers.

The light boxes will allow students to refine their work by placing final paper over their drafts to create polished final artworks.

Our students are especially inspired by the brilliant colors and exquisite line work found in manga, animation and video game art. These supplies will be highly motivating, encouraging them to take their art to the next level.
