Kent Baker is passionate about art and has shared his zeal with students at Capistrano Valley High School for the last 8 years.? He teaches drawing, painting and animation to creative young minds who absorb his lessons like a sponge. Kent also inspires them to get involved in the community.
?The way I get my art students to participate in community activities is through preparation,? he said. ?Our school is lucky to have a dedicated art gallery/store staffed during lunch by PTSA parents. From the beginning of the year, students get used to having their projects hung where all of their friends can see them. By the time spring rolls around, they feel comfortable exhibiting their work outside of school.?
Kent?s students? drawings and paintings have been displayed at places like the Laguna College of Art & Design and at the Sneak Peek Arts Alive event at the Kaleidoscope.
?In fact, one of last year?s advanced students, Robbin Nameki, is participating in the Sneak Peek again this year on April 20-21,? he said. ?She?ll be showing the ropes to the younger artists.?
Along with teaching students about art, Kent shows them the mastery of it firsthand. Kent is a street painter who displays his talents each year during the City?s Arts Alive Festival. He will join more than 70 other street painters at this year?s two-day weekend festival May 4-5.
This year?s festival celebrates the 1960s with a plethora of cultural, artistic and environmental activities and top-notch entertainment. Street painting is a popular component of the festival as the pavement outside of the Norman P. Murray Community and Senior Center is transformed into a gallery of art with artists using pastel chalks as their medium.
?The Norman P. Murray Community Center is right in the neighborhood of so many of our students,? Kent said. ?Being able to participate, either individually or in teams, and show off their artwork is certainly a win-win for them and the community ??
