Cranston East students received expert feedback from Season 2 winner of Ink Master, Steven Tefft. Ms. DiCicco’s Mirror-Mirror class are working on an art project designing identity tattoos based on their personal research. Tefft held one-on-one conferences providing personalized feedback, answered questions and demonstrated tattooing equipment to help students elevate their original designs.

Four local tattoo artists also joined the class, including Cranston East alumni, AJ Williams (CHSE Class of 2007), Maxwell Blackmar, Giulia Davis DeSimone (CHSE Class of 2013), and Alexandra Bowden (CHSE Class of 2014). They helped students think about their projects and demonstrated some freestyle drawings of their own to show how art evolves. Submitted photos
