When the author's high school students explored the work of artist Teri Greeves, they accomplished several good things. They learned about a living contemporary artist and saw the potential of art as a pursuit that is pleasurable and potentially profitable. During studio work, students tried new needlework techniques to add to their toolbox of art media. Finally, the classes produced an interesting array of works based on their individual choices and experiments. The experience was a positive way for students to learn about a living artist, encounter new techniques for their art-making, and, for many, to share their carefully made work with family and friends.
