I am honored to have been asked to do a Master Class for teachers on the topic of Art and Activism at this years California Art Education Association conference in San Francisco.
http://www.caea-arteducation.org/

  It will be offered twice.  Once on Friday and again on Saturday November 10 and 11. 

The overarching concepts of this master class will be “Visual Journalism,” “Art and Activism,” and “Social Justice.”  The discussion will be about how to incorporate these themes in the art classroom and how to use our skills and social media to promote Social Justice and a spirit of giving back.  Related topics will be street photography and copyright.  The class will create a group project as well as individual pen and pencil drawings.

Drew School Collaboration

I did a workshop today about my work at Drew High School in San Francisco.  
The topic was Art and Activism. Part of it was a collaborative work in which each student created a piece that included a word about being homeless.  The students were thoughtful and creative - a pleasure to work with and this is the finished work.

6 ways Homelessness is Criminalized

Despite the lack of affordable housing and increasing gentrification and displacement, U.S. cities have continued to attack homeless people through criminalization. More concerned about keeping homeless people from the public gaze rather than providing housing to women, children,  adults, people with disabilities, and elderly people,  there has been an increase in anti-homeless laws across the nation.  ...More from the Street Sheet

What is Visual Journalism?

3/23/2017

A Visual Journalist documents society and preserves history through images. And I have chosen to document homelessness in San Francisco.  Homelessness is not only a San Francisco problem.  Anyone who has seen the vast swaths of makeshift shelters on the streets of Los Angeles – or the serge of tent encampments in Oakland – knows that deprivation knows no city boundaries.  I want my drawings to be part of the solution and not part of the problem

The Background

3/20/2017

In a painting or drawing, the space around the object is just as important as the object itself. The artist strives for a balance between the positive space (the object) and the negative space (the background)around it.  

To create this web site, It was necessary to to define the space around me... my background...my work...my places and my people.
