I am an artist living in Denver. I work mostly in watercolor but recently have discovered Acrylics. I also build furniture and sculpt wood.
For several years now I have taught Art in the D.P.S. both as a volunteer and as a paid enrichment teacher. Currently I am teaching a watercolor class at my sons' middle school. I find that working with these kids, while not financially lucrative, is very rewarding.
Tell us how you feel about arts education
With my hands! Ha! Ha1
Arts education is sadly lacking in the schools and this is a problem. Working with kids and watching their Art projects develop has proven to me over and over the importance of a creative outlet in the school day.
A lack of structure and discipline in the Arts classroom is also lacking and is replaced by a feel-good, Little Picasso, type of copying.
