John Iampieri

• About the Artist:

  John R Iampieri, a visual artist remembers the magic of Screen Painting in Baltimore when growing up as a child. Today the artist uses the techniques of the original screen painters to create hand-painted screens on windows, doors, entire porches, and framed wall pieces. He ships his artwork worldwide.

  Connecting this 108 year old art form in the classroom enables children of all ages the opportunity to learn the history, tools, and techniques to create their own individual framed screen to keep.

  Incorporating the common core school curriculum into a residency for the week is filled with the fundamentals of creative design while seeing the collaboration of teachers and artists unfold as the students were capable than they imagined.
