These photos depict students hard at work and some of their completed art. This is an example of how efficient students can be when they are focused and not getting distracted. Some of these pictures also reveal how productive students are when they feel comfortable in a safe and inclusive environment. Through my encouragement, they are motivated to freely express themselves to create a series of works that are unique and inspirational. While they are developing pieces of art, they are mixing and matching various 6x6 squares into cubes which will eventually create a pop art sculpture. During this process, I strive to be supportive in their experimentation.
