Richard Hight is a nationally recognized artist/speaker who uses the fine arts to help his audiences create strategies for change by turning good ideas into great results. He is on a mission to help students see the possibility of their potential and create new opportunities.
Richard's Virtual Art of Inspiration influences his audiences to use their imagination to discover their originality and celebrate their differences. As a masterful storyteller with a down to earth, Oklahoma warmth, and humorous style, he always connects with his audiences in a welcoming and affirming environment.
Richard’s presentation begins with the dramatic and exciting creation of a stunning illustration on a large canvas (each school can suggest what image will best serve their students - historical figures, patriotic images, school mascots and others, etc.). Students and teachers are WOW’ed by the combination of powerful illustration, spoken word, and music that transpires in a matter of moments.
The artwork Richard creates then provides the foundation for his keynote presentation and live, online discussion engaging students in leadership opportunities. At the end of the virtual school assembly, your school receives a high-resolution digital copy of the image created to act as a reminder of the positive, empowering messages your students learned (and for your to reproduce as you wish!). He can customize a portion of your event to include Anti-Bullying, Character Building or reinforce the theme of your school.
