Our TeachersArt Road teachers are practicing professional artists who share their knowledge or art techniques, art history and art appreciation with the students. We have benefited from the services of Cranbrook Academy of Art graduate students, the sculptor Carrie Fonder, and the painter Todd Patrick. We supplement the teacher with volunteers who help distribute the project and answer questions. With their help and guidance, our students regularly produce work that exceeds standards set forth by the Michigan Educational standards. In the photo at right, Carrie Fonder is showing the class how to hold the brush and make the yellow petals. When she did this, about seven students all went "oooh" in unison - it clicked for them - the light bulb in their heads went on and they learned about the process of making art. To be an Art Instructor with Art Road Nonprofit: contact us. Volunteers: see how you can help. Take a look at the gallery of art created by our students.
