When I was a student, I studied art at Capitol
Hill Arts Workshop, Corcoran and Bell Multicultural High School. Many
years later while a student at the Corcoran, I taught art to many
students.
I strongly believe that art not only can help center a
student's learning experience and can close the opportunity gap for many
students.

The above photos were taken while I was a high school student at Bell from 1991 - 1993. I gave away the clothing articles and jewelry shown in the photos above. Additionally, I donated the artwork shown above.
"Art instruction helps children with the development of motor skills, language skills, social skills, decision-making, risk-taking, and inventiveness. Visual arts teach learners about color, layout, perspective, and balance: all techniques that are necessary in presentations (visual, digital) of academic work."
