Sue’s Art Students: Young Black Women Taking On The Dance World

by Jon Katz

Sue Silverstein’s latest jaw-dropping project for her Bishop Gibbons art students has been borrowing from Degas paintings and asking the artists to re-imagine the paintings as young black women taking the dance world on.

Seeing students’ creativity unleashed by a loving and creative teacher is heartwarming and uplifting.

The frames used in this exercise come from donations from the Army Of Good. This is an example of what you have done.

If you wish to send discarded objects to Sue Silverstein, she will make art from them: Sue Silverstein, Bishop Gibbons High School, 2600 Albany Avenue, Schenectady, New York, 12304.

And thanks.
