| Related Exhibition | Brian Barber, educator and founder of Mr. New-School Media, demonstrates how he uses rap music and art activities to engage children at home during the stay-at-home orders.
Brian Barber is an educator, rapper, and author born in Washington D.C. and raised in Fort Washington, Maryland. His experience as an educator and writer allows him to effectively produce educational materials for school age children. Brian has worked in the educational field since 2003 as an educator in Prince George’s County, Maryland. During those years he taught music to students in pre-kindergarten through sixth grade as well as mathematics, science, health, reading, language arts and social studies to grades two and five. Brian has also performed as a hip-hop artist for many years. The many talents that Brian developed have given him a special blend of artistry.
Brian earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education from Bowie State University in Maryland, a second Bachelor’s Degree in Visual Communication Digital Media Arts (VCDMA) from Bowie State University as well, and a Master’s Degree in Education at Trinity University in Washington D.C. Through this unique combination of skills and talents Mr. New-School was created. Brian found throughout his years teaching that children respond to topics in which they relate and have an interest, thus he created Mr. New-School.
