Lisa Grize

Art

Founding Educator: Year 11 at The Accord School

Lisa Grize shows every student that they are, indeed, an artist. Using an approach called “Teaching for Artistic Behavior,” Lisa’s art room is unlike any students have experienced prior to coming to The Accord School.

Lisa values expression in all forms, and empowers students to learn technique, then create with free choice. Many of her students come in believing they are “not good at art,” and leave understanding the many ways that they communicate through art. Confidence grows in Lisa’s room.

Lisa is a mom to two children, Will and Veronica. She supports them in their many endeavors- from enthusiastically attending baseball games, going fishing and boat shows for hours on end, and creating incredible original costumes for Anime and Comic Conventions all over the Northeast and beyond.

Lisa received her undergraduate degree in art and graphic design from Western Connecticut State University.
