Rural Reimagined is proud to recognize Art Education students Pedro Laboy, Veston Phillippi, Chuck Kail, and Becca Boggs for teaching ten visual arts class sessions every week in a surrounding rural community. Under the mentorship of Dr. Jeremy Blair, they are teaching primarily to Kindergarten and first graders at Baxter Primary School in Baxter, TN. Examples of art lessons include learning simple shapes and colors, making flags, and creating textures with homemade slime. Dr. Blair states, “We identified Baxter Primary School as a great partner due to its rural location, early childhood student body, and reasonable commuting range for my participating TN Tech students.” They will continue teaching at BPS until the end of the semester but hope to continue in the Spring.
