BRUCE REICHER
@breicher
SESSION Title coming soon!
I am an artist/educator from Chicago. As a freelance artist, I have had work in local publications and news broadcasts in the Chicagoland area. You can also spot my work in many types of businesses, schools, and even on fire hydrants. As an educator, I have taught art for 24 years in the west suburbs, primarily Downers Grove. This past year of remote learning has changed my mindset, and I have fused my life as an artist, with my art teaching career. My YouTube channel (MrBelonio) and Seesaw app. has enabled me to share outside experiences with my students and give them more personal connections with what they are taught in my classroom. The ability to use Green Screen has empowered not just myself, but also my students, in sharing our art adventures, and we plan on doing this for years to come! It is very exciting to have this power of visualization at our fingertips!
