NEW INSTRUCTOR! Canada Kerwin has worked as a K–Grade 2 art volunteer since 2005, creating age-appropriate lessons that include introduction to art theory and artists’ biographies and tie-in to curricula as needed. Retired from the healthcare field, Canada also served in the US Navy. She applies her background experience to her ongoing art studies at Mira Costa College, focusing on the human form through life drawing and sculpture. She says, “Capturing the infinite expressions of the body through gesture and line is a very fascinating and gratifying practice.”

NEW INSTRUCTOR! Carmen Baca Barnard was born in Michoacán, Mexico, and has lived in both the United States and Mexico since infancy in a bicultural and bilingual family. Carmen has taught art to children and young adults through UCSD’s Rec Department, has volunteered in local North County schools, and has taught privately in her hometown of Morelia. There, she trained for over 17 years under the tutelage of Alfredo Zalce and for 2 years under Gilberto Ramírez—both second-and- third-generation Mexican School artists—focusing on mixed technique easel painting and printmaking.
