"...it is essential that students learn about their American past..."
"To me, it is essential that students learn about their American past, and this specific opportunity for my students allows them direct contact with history specific to their city," said visual artist Steve Teare. "I'm very excited to be a part of the Spare A Dime project and to be in collaboration with COSACOSA." Teare is creating illustrations that will be animated and projected as sets for Spare A Dime. He is also working with his students at Bok Tech High School to create an exhibition of re-imagined Liberty Dimes and WPA-style posters for our performances.
Teare describes himself as a late-20s high school art teacher who resides in West Philadelphia while teaching teens in South Philadelphia. He received his Bachelor of Science in Art Education from Temple University. As a visual artist, Teare creates in multiple media, and his work includes comics, illustrations, and paintings. His ongoing comic strip, Back and Forth, appears at phinkwell.com, a web comic collective, and his paintings have been shown in solo and group shows throughout Philadelphia. Teare is also a founding member of the local rock band Flat Mary Road. Listen to their music at flatmaryroad.bandcamp.com/
