Camara’s innovative teaching idea, “Walk in My Shoes,” focuses on fostering creativity, collaboration and ingenuity through service-based learning. With her project, art students will work in pairs to design their own shoes with unique artwork highlighting positive ideas, thoughts and messages. These shoes will later be donated to local homeless shelters, foster homes, group homes and overseas military personnel. Camara believes that through art and service-based learning, students are able to use their creativity to have a positive impact on their community culture.
