ArtReach Guest Lecturer Willie Cole at Barringer High School.
School Lectures
To instruct students in practical, methodical career planning, ArtReach presents a semester-long series of lectures to school classes, and even full student assemblies, by working artists who share expertise and advice on the practical techniques and methodology of creating and sustaining a career in fine art. The artists stress the importance of capitalizing on the many opportunities already available to students, such as art competitions, mural projects, set design, etc., and how these activities can form the basis of a coherent career strategy. Participating artists are selected through a formal interview process. Special attention is given to role models relevant to the many minority students at New Jersey's high schools.
