Concept: Resolution of urban violence by confronting its root causes along with the use of timely interventions. Action and history. |
Onli was a professional artist/illustrator and art therapist before becoming a certified public school art teacher. He often brings the vision and resourcefulness of this background into the classroom. He feels that the visual arts are a normal part of everyone's life. Design, education, appreciation, self-expression, healing, documentation, production, and commerce are all enhanced by the impact of the visual arts. |
