My background is in developing and teaching art, visual culture, and multimedia curriculum and programs for schools and museums in the United States and abroad. I have taught in youth homes, detention centers, prisons, and various youth and community organizations.

Aside from teaching art theory and principles, I use art and digital mediums to teach and explore different learning and subject areas such as literacy, life-skills, and social and environmental issues.

I taught a semester-long course for undergraduate students ages 17-26. The course objects ranged from understanding art/visual culture in relationship to society to becoming familiar the process of making art in a variety of mediums (drawing, blockprinting, photography, digital art, journal writing, etc).

Examples of their work follows…

I lived and worked in a youth home in rural Taiwan serving boys ages 13-17. I developed and facilitated lessons, activities, workshops and fieldtrips using art, music, and technology to teach life-skills, literacy, and individual expression.

Design Away and Little Voices are summer camp programs that I developed and taught children ages 5-9. Students explored the elements of art and design from project-based curriculum. In addition, students worked on collaborative artworks and productions.

Sisterhoods is a violence prevention group for girls ages 8-12 in two rival, gang neighborhoods.

In collaboration with a community organization, I developed and facilitated a 12-week photography, art and multimedia education program for them.

The goal of Sisterhoods was to build healthy relationships between girls from Sunnydale and Visitation Valley, reduce violent behavior in these communities, and empower girls to articulate and advocate for the needs of their communities through photography and art education.

These images are examples of their photographic and digital art work taken in their neighborhoods.
