Pennsylvania School for the Deaf

Jon Savage, a Deaf artist from California, visited PSD this week for a three-day artist residency, leading workshops with students from kindergarten through high school.

Elementary students created artwork inspired by ASL movements, while middle and high school students explored stop-motion animation using their own drawings.

It was inspiring to see students across all grade levels engage creatively throughout the residency. We are grateful to Jon for sharing his time, talent, and expertise with our school community.

With pride, confidence, and determination, they leave middle school ready to embrace the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead. Congratulations to the PSD Class of 2030!
