My classroom is an open studio for my students to reflect their ideas and I learn from them. Coming into this profession, I wanted to be prepared to teach with great knowledge and ability and to expose my students to the vast world of art. What my students have taught me in return is how to maintain being the purist form of an artist. “Every child is and artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.”-Pablo Picasso saragagliano.tripod.com 305-609-9408, 305-406-0059
