Hello, my name is Brenda Figueroa, and I am the High School Art Teacher at Tapestry Public Charter School.
As a teacher, I want my students to have the opportunity to gain a sense of belonging, as a part of their school, families and community through the expressions of art. Artistic endeavors can be the means to investigation, of discovery, that could bring students together.
As an educator, I want to utilize the studio to improve knowledge about culture, understanding of multicultural issues and diversity, and provide a link between students, families and community in which to address social and economic problems for the social reconstruction we need so much.
