Student and parent testimonials
Keeping it real.
"Great teachers are supposed to inspire, guide and motivate. Ms. Kirk is a great teacher. From the beginning, she pushed me to always do my best artwork, encouraged me to try things outside my comfort zone, and always challenged me. When other teachers had written me off, she gave me the opportunity to prove myself and rise to the challenge. I'm a better artist and overall person because of her guidance and support. "
Jeremy Jiovonni, Blake 2005
"Recognizing that I had talent, she took extra care to teach me intricate skills for hand-building. Her lessons continue to help me, as I am currently applying to dental school and can confidently say I’ve had experience with training my dexterity through ceramics. Thank you Ms. Kirk! You’ve lit a spark in my heart about art that wasn’t previously there (or at least I wasn’t aware of!)"
Maya Patel, Valedictorian of Freedom High School, 2016
"I remember Lucy's generosity. She is generous with her artistic knowledge and encouragement of all her students.
And less obviously, with her time and monetary donations to benefit her classes, She genuinely cares about her
students."
