According to Janis, becoming an art teacher for the School District of Philadelphia taught her “that if I wanted to do anything meaningful with my students, I would have to use my well-learned improvisational skills to provide them with materials. After teaching art for many years, I’ve come to appreciate the freshness and spontaneity of art made by children and hope to someday regain that same freedom of self-expression.”

Thanks so much for sharing your students’ work with us Janis!
