Niema Qureshi: Visiting Artist

Last week, Mr. Kerney's 4th grade was visited by sculpture artist Niema Qureshi. Niema is a local sculptor who I met a few years ago while attending an art development class at Marwen Art Center. She is not only very talented, but great with students! She gave us a presentation on her own work, and then showed us some images that she is working on with local high school students. Her website is below along with a couple of pictures I grabbed. Ms. Cortez's class was able to see part of her presentation as I video taped a section of it! The students were really excited about her work, and some of the plastic-packing-tape sculptures she has done with her students! They are ready to cast themselves!
