Marie Elcin

Contributor
Marie Elcin is an artist and educator teaching kindergarten through eighth grade students at Christopher Columbus Charter School in Philadelphia, and adults at her local community arts center, Fleisher Art Memorial. Working within her school’s art curriculum that requires her to cover specific art historical periods, Marie consistently finds ways to connect local and contemporary art examples to the work of art history masters. For instance, she connected Thomas Cole’s The Oxbow to the work of lego sculptor, Sean Kenney, who created and installed a series of endangered animal sculptures at the Philadelphia Zoo to critique how humans have failed to care for our environment.
