It has been a pleasure to collaborate with Stephanie on three school projects. In each instance she has involved the students from the start, soliciting the ideas from the entire student body and using them to generate works of art that reflect their thinking and provide representation of their experience in school. Not only does Stephanie seek their input on ideas, she involves them in the actual planning of the project. Students work with her on developing the murals from start to finish. In addtion to being able to have a hand in the final work, students learn a great deal from Stephanie about the elements of visual arts in a meaningful, authentic project.
Students report how much they enjoy working with Stephanie and demonstrate pride in having a hand in the final mural. She is a pleasure to work with!
