Links We Like Friday
This week’s “Links We Like” is brought to you by Cortney Piper, who comes to us from the world of visual arts. She is an educator, facilitator, and advocate for the arts and specializes in integrating digital arts into student curriculum. She’s a perfect match for our Links We Like.

Cortney Piper is currently completing her Masters in Art Education and Arts Teaching Certification at the University of South Carolina, where her research focus on the integration of digital media within art curriculum to empower students’ participation in and creation of popular visual culture. She teaches art to a wide range of students in both school and community settings, including a hands-on media literacy class for undergraduate students, film and animation workshops for the Girls Juvenile Arbitration program, afterschool art classes for at-risk 4th grade girls, and summer art camps for four to seven year olds. Piper advocates strongly the need of arts education to embrace new media in a dance between student relevancy, process focus, artist intentionality, and social participation.
