Todd Siegel Art Show!

Todd Siegel is an art teacher and artist living and working in Chicago. Every year he travels and works with international artists in a residency near Florence, Italy. This year he began focusing his work on the ideas, personal frustrations, and controversial topic of Education. Many of his ideas come from readings by writers such as Neil Postman, John Dewey, and others who write about alternative possibilities and understandings of the world of education. More ideas are personal and stem from frustrations of the recent distrust of teachers and people making decisions on educational institutions not thinking of the child as a learner or a human being. His other artworks stem from personal situations with his experience teaching. He thought it was appropriate to Include artwork from the after school art club. In his art club his students between the grades of 4th-6th have chosen to display one drawing from their sketchbooks.
