Design Seminar 

I have been paired with a Language Arts Special Needs Teacher at the Ray Graham School to develop and implement over the course of a year an arts integrated curriculum with a group of 10 or so moderately to severely disabled students aged 16-22.

 

CPS is providing enough Ipads for each student, and we will explore new computer generated art practices while investigating the possibilities to create community through new forms of communication.
