I was born and raised in Flint, MI and I am currently a Visual Arts teacher at Byron Center West Middle School in Byron Center, MI. I have been making art my whole life. I am passionate about the power of quality Arts Education and regularly present at state and national conferences about Arts Education, Technology Integration, and Student Engagement. As a former struggling student, I use those experiences to help push my students to their best work and have been fortunate to have multiple local, state, and national awardees works made in my classroom. I am excited about the work my students and I will create for ArtPrize and hope to capture the attention of the voters through our positive message of connectivity.
These are Janine's official ArtPrize entries from this year and past years.
