This project came about due to my interest in education and a need to better serve the learners in the school and class where I work. I also wanted to explore my interest in watercolor as a traditional illustration medium and to use this technique in my work and in my classroom. Since the beginning of the Low Residency MFA in Illustration program, I have been interested in developing and addressing the specific needs of high ability students. This is not to say that I have been assessed as a gifted learner. However, taking several courses in this area led me towards my teaching visual arts certification. This project is aligned to serve the kind of students I am preparing to teach.
