So one of the people who lead me to photography at an early age is Mrs. Armistead at my high school many many moons ago. I've always felt that teachers here in this country are not held in the same regard as in other countries so I'm happy that someone has taken the opportunity to showcase work of high school teachers here in Los Angeles.
GALLERY OPENING – Visions by Photography teachers of Los Angeles
On June 6, 2009, in Los Angeles, CA, the Creative Photography Workshop & Gallery has its first exhibit, highlighting the images of high school photography teachers from across Los Angeles, including Marlborough, Crossroads and Hamilton High etc. The images range from gritty streets scenes to revealing portraiture. This is a unique show of photographs by the artists who teach the kids of Los Angeles to interpret their world through pictures.
This show concept spotlights the too-often hidden talents of teachers with years of experience and fine arts backgrounds who have devoted themselves to nurturing the work of others rather than promoting their own careers. “It take so much time and energy to teach well that it’s s hard for them to find the time and place to show their own work,” says Tracey, the mother of three boys in Los Angeles public and private schools ages 16 to 18.
A percentage of all show sales will go to P.S. ART www.psarts.org devoted to restoring arts education in the schools – a passion for Tracey as an involved parent and artist.
