Map it out in the Teen Studio! If you haven’t had a chance to check out Tim Schwartz latest work, you’re missing out. Through July 20th, join us for an interactive exploration in America’s View of the World. Looking at newsworthy destinations across the globe, you can plot their location on a larger-than-life map—and have some crazy fun in the process.
Thanks to Teen Council member Aleesha Rackley, we’ve got a behind-the-scenes exclusive with Tim! What is it? What led you to art? And, my personal favorite: if you couldn’t do art, what would you do? Get the answers to all of these questions! How would you answer the same questions?
Tim Schwartz lives in San Diego and is working towards his MFA at UCSD.
