On Friday October 12, 2018, Stem Middle School had the honor to host the by famous Mural/ Graffiti Artist Kyle “Rise” Irving. He spent 3 hours talking to our student with Question and Answer portions to each class, demonstrating how to create ideas, where ideas may come from and the full construction of his murals. The students were amazing, they has some intense questions that impressed Rise, he mentioned to me that he was impressed by the high level of thought put into the questions. He was shocked they were in Middle School . He geared his demo, knowledge covered and way of connecting to the students , it was a fabulous day and the students had a great time.. minus the chilly weather. We look forward to hosting him and other artists.

I have been an artist for over 25 years, my main focus has been in illustration and comic art style. I have been teaching for 5 years, I have my degrees from Wayne State University both in BFA( Bachelor of Fine and Preforming Arts, and a MAT( Masters of Art and Teaching) . I believe that art can close the gap in communication where words can't be spoken art takes over. The success and exploration art allows students to achieve breeds confidence and joy that will carry over to other aspects in life. View All Posts
