Advancements in technology have followed students into the art classroom and are now changing the way we learn. In a 2013 study by the Pew Research Center, about 77 percent of those who participated somewhat or strongly agree that the internet has “played a major role in broadening the boundaries of what is considered art.” Today, students can connect with technology in new ways to do things they could not have done before.

Whether it is through writing, photography, or videography, he enjoys telling the stories of artists at Dreyfoos and the very diverse population that walks its halls.
