About my Process

I work with public school teachers to develop creative methods that link art to specific areas of learning. Together, we initiate students to recognize the importance of their own ideas, and we set out to express a mergence of difference within a collective focus. My projects combine academic learning and life skill development with an audacious aspiration to create great art within an unexpected context.

What this looks like changes with each teacher and classroom.

From time to time I create artworks with groups outside of the traditional classroom. This includes working with youth at my studio, with diverse communities, intergenerational (with elders and youth), and distance learning via Skype.

If you are interested planning a project or have questions about available artworks please contact me via email at: benjaminvolta@gmail.com
