Muente has previously taught at the Milwaukee Art Museum and Missouri Western State University. Students learned about Kevin’s creative process and information about the world of professional artists.

‘Creative Canvassing’ is a year long art and design series brought to you by National Art Honor Society. Imagine cool talks by artists and designers who will share their stories and show you how they create amazing stuff, presentations about college and post-secondary options, and strategies to help you figure out how to keep your artistic passions alive after high school. CC events happen after school, so you don’t miss out on the chance to dive into the world of art and design, learn new things, and let your creativity run wild.
