What initially attracted me to SVA—and what continues to engage me—is our ongoing dialogue about the ways imagination can be expanded, explored, and released through arts education.

As we encourage our students to represent lived-life experiences with thoughtfulness, we are also confronted with a media that often distorts or fabricates the realities of the day, requiring critical and conscious conversations that help to make meaning of the world we live in. As educators at SVA, we have the opportunity to help students develop the necessary skills to interpret these meanings and transform them into examined and aesthetic representations that will both engage and enlighten.
