My name is Edgar Gonzalez. I am an artist, an USAR Veteran with a year in Iraq under my belt, and I am a teacher. I am also a contributing blogger for the Vet Art Project here in Chicago. I will be posting various events and reflection of such events on the Vet Art Project Chicago Blog. I first got involved with the Vet Art Project in December of 2009. I have since pretty consistently attended Vet Art Project events and collaborations throughout the year. I have had many wonderful opportunities to meet people, help them tell their story, and share elements of my own story.
In July of 2010, I led my first workshop for the Vet Art Project, teaching participants some basic drawing skills and surrealist art making techniques. The veterans and participants appreciated the expanded skills in art making, and I was very pleased with the beautiful artworks which they created.
I look forward to working with the Vet Art Project Chicago, and continuing what I think is a great program.
