Lourdes
Artist and displaced High School Art Teacher
As an artist, art teacher and arts advocate, I see how funding for arts programs has changed the face of who receives an art education, who is exposed to art, who receives a comprehensive art education, whose lives are enhanced by their cultural experience, and consequently whose cultural is being expressed in America.
Areas of interest:
Artist, arts education, aesthetics, cultural and ethnic influences the arts
