A s the art teacher at the SuccessAcademy at Ghazvini Learning Cen-ter, David Worrell is looking forwardto a global adventure with his stu-

dents. Taking a cue from writer Jules Verne,he plans to take them around the world in180 days. They’ve already visited the Ama-zon rainforest and recently made their way

to Mexico. There are no pass-ports and no need to calculateexchange rates because thetravel takes place within theart room.

“Each project we do isgoing to be inspired by artcreated by some other culturein the world,” Worrell ex-plained. At the beginning of

the school year, students studied the vastdiversity of butterflies within the SouthAmerican jungles. They then imagined theirown, focusing on bilateral symmetry so the

detailed patterns on each wing perfectlymirrored one another.

Worrell then plotted a course north andperfectly timed their arrival in CentralAmerica to pay tribute to the Mexican holi-day Día de Muertos, or Day of the Dead.Students used their knowledge of bi-lateralsymmetry to design their own sugar skulls.These objects serve as a way to honor andcelebrate the life of a departed loved one.

Twelfth-grader Cody Calhoun recognizesthat the sugar skulls carry special signif-icance and feels a responsibility to show re-spect in his art-making process. “I appreciatethe fact that this art is intended for a muchbigger meaning. It’s not just decoration; it’s

something that these people are makingby hand and there is an extremeamount of sentiment there.”

Reflecting on the intersection of artand remembrance, Cody sees it as apath toward a kind of immortality. Hesaid “making art gives you the capa-bility to come up with an idea yourselfand it lets your creativity live and con-tinue on.”

These are weighty themes for teen-agers and Worrell recognizes that manyof his students have already grappledwith challenging questions. “There area lot of students who come here withlife experiences that will never be partof my reality,” but he believes that “inthe art room, they’re capable of thingsthat they may be struggling with inother subjects. I think I can help any-body who walks into my classroom feelsuccess.”

“Students come to this school with ahistory of failing to meet the regularprogram requirements. They’re herefor credit recovery so they can hopeful-ly graduate on time with their chrono-logical cohort.”

With a total school enrollment hover-ing around 220, Worrell has the luxuryof small classes which allows him towork with every student. He says thisis important because “no one feels ne-glected or anonymous. Every one ofthem is an individual and brings some-thing different to this arena.”

Worrell encourages students toshare their ideas and gives them amuch-needed opportunity to make per-sonal choices and take ownership oftheir work. This freedom is especiallyappreciated by 12th-grader Megg Sam-uel.

A meticulous artist working towardsan intricately designed sugar skull,Megg initially doubted her artisticability. She embraces Worrell’s method,which includes an experimentationphase, and was completing four small-scale trial drawings. “With the practicesketches, you find new stuff and ithelps you figure out what exactlyyou’re going to put on your big finaldrawing.”

Megg sees the value of testing herideas before putting them into practiceand she has applied that concept toother areas of her life. She is eager toshare her own creative expressionbecause, “there’s so much bad in theworld, so why not make it a bit morecolorful?”

Throughout Worrell’s 47-year career,he has worked as a consultant for thestate’s department of education andserved for 13 years as the president ofthe local teacher’s union. He has taughtart at every grade level and in a privateboarding school, a rural school district,and three local schools in between. “Ihave taught everything from yearbookdesign to ceramics, sculpture, drawing,

painting, etc. I look back and I thinkhow did I do this?”

He has been a steadfast advocate forthe profession of art education, forother art educators, for his students,and for the artistic process. He hasseen the transformative power of artand he knows that his students canbenefit from it in surprising ways.

Worrell is dedicated to making surethey appreciate art from other culturesand that they understand art’s relation-ship to other areas of knowledge. Healso wants for his students to take plea-sure in creating and exploring a varietyof media and techniques. More thananything, he wants them to “know andunderstand the universal language ofart and the vocabulary that makes themconversant about art.”

Tenth-grader Edward Lee alreadygrasps this concept. Though he hastaken art before in school, he has neverbeen able to delve as deeply as he hasin Worrell’s class. Edward has come tounderstand that “art is part of our ev-eryday life. You see art everywhere.You see it anywhere you go.” Worrell’steachings have allowed Edward to deci-pher this visual culture and Edwardsaid, “it makes me think about it in adifferent way.”
