I wanted to show the students his work because not only do I think that it is creative and fun, but his video shows how hard he worked to get where he is today. The students first watched this inspiring video of Jon talking about his art work and then wrote three words to describe Jon. The kids came up with fun, hard working, determined, caring, and cool. Jon lives in Brooklyn currently and works constantly. I contacted Jon, via emailed, last week and told him that we would be studying his art form in my middle school classroom.
