Over this past yr. I've found that my students really want to learn how to draw lettering, figures, characters, etc, but don't have the basics. Even in 8th grade many don't know how to blend colors effectively, and have difficulty painting in designs. My challenge will be to create lessons that cover the basics yet capture their interest. Good thing I like these kinds of challenges!
I will also be presenting 2 graffiti / urban art workshops at the Art Educators of NJ conference in October. I want to share my passion for what I'm doing in Jersey City. Gotta keep spreading the love...
