Every year my students graduate and go out into the world. My greatest hope for them is that they take their skills and knowledge and use them for their own well being, to bring joy to friends and family and bring attention to a variety of causes.
Clara Spars is no exception. She has used her artwork to deal with adversity and to bring awareness to causes that she believes in. This is a piece she did in high school.
Here she is giving a TEDX talk. The self-portrait above was drawn to help deal with a traumatic experience during high school. And here she is raising money to help others through her website.
This is Clara's work now. A book that she recently published with her father, Brandon Spars, a humanity teacher and professional storyteller.
Sam Lasseter is another alum who makes art that brings whimsy and joy.
