Frankie Reyes

Teaching Philosophy:

I believe in art as a vehicle for self-expression, connection, and change. Everyone is a maker, my role as an art educator is to guide students through the process of discovering their own creative identities. In that way I believe that curriculum content should be student centered, giving students the opportunity to take ownership of their process and their work. Now more than ever, it is imperative that we recognize art as a powerful form of communication and give future generations the tools they need to find and use their artistic voices.
