Soon a brand new school will open, Susie King Taylor Community School. Today as the art teacher for SKTCS, I set up the studio along with all the other new teachers setting up their classrooms. The building was former private school that closed doors in 2015 and left some furniture behind for everybody to scavenge around and make it work!
While setting up the studio memories surfaced of designing the workspace in the community from where I came and remembered not knowing where I would be when writing this farewell.
So here is the studio of a new beginning where I am excited to find the answers to these Q's and learn what the SKTCS students would like to learn too!
Who is Susie King Taylor?
What do artists do?
What nature is around our campus to inspire ideas?
What materials are available?
How will I challenge myself this year?
What could I learn about my community?
How could shared experiences of others and myself form new ideas?
Looking forward to meeting TAB teachers in Savannah and finding some to explore the sandy shore!
