Spring 2024
Teaching Artist: Jezabeth Gonzalez
Classroom Teacher: Christen Sanderson
At New Foundations Charter High School, students explored two concepts inspired by Stephanie Santana, Nancy Hellebrand and Martie Zelt: “photos are not flat” and “all about us.” They used analog photographic techniques to layer and manipulate images. These images were printed on fabric in cyanotype used to create sewn sculptural works embellished with a variety of media including embroidery. Additionally, students explored installation as an art form, utilizing materials such as privacy film, drawings and stencils to experiment with projection. At the conclusion of the residency, the students organized an exhibition of their work in the school lobby.
