Limestone High School Commercial Art class

Lisa Bently has been teaching art at Limestone High School since 2001. This year she created a collaborative project with a teacher at a local low-income grade school that involves 14 high school students and 32 kindergarten children.  The kindergartners made drawings of  “monsters”.  Then the Commercial Art class at the high school learned about pattern making, 3D design, and basic hand sewing techniques to create a life-sized replica of the kindergartners’ drawings.  Her students are planning a field trip to present the kids with their stuffed sculptures.

Lisa says “I love teaching. I love giving back to others, and I am passionate about teaching teenagers about the joy of giving and doing good in the world.”
