As a teacher in the public schools, I often work in tandem with my students. Sometimes an individual student and I will work together on a piece, other times I incorporate student work into my own, and yet other times I collage using work from multiple students and use my own skills to highlight and enhance the pieces as a unified whole. Regardless of the process, I find it stimulating and enlightening to engage with my young peers and their artwork.
