In my first semester at Rhode Island School of Design, I took an art education course. After doing a site visit to watch a middle-school teacher instruct her class, I had an idea to make a mural with her students. I returned on his own time to create a 4 by 8 foot mural with a few students from each of the teacher’s classes.<\/p>\n

From that project in 2001, I have been involved in organizing and implementing dozens of mural and mosaic-mural projects with nonprofit organizations and schools, many of which are structured as classes to teach youth the creative process (from brainstorming to planning to creation).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Artist Statement<\/h3>\n

Art has the ability to heal wounds between communities, to inspire greatness, and to lift the hearts of those who participate in it. Whiting provides positive art-making experiences to youth who may not experience art as much as others without intervention.<\/p>\n

All students are able to create meaningful art. I approach projects not only as a leader, but also as a participant and a member of the community.<\/p>\n
