K-12 Arts Education
Aligning with K-12 curricula, Arts Integration activities enhance student engagement and content retention through culturally responsive pedagogy. Interdisciplinary activities are designed for math, science, social studies, language arts and second language acquisition. I work with administrators, schools, teachers and districts to integrate art across the K-12 curriculum. Contact me to learn more.
These images document interactive projects in which students engage with real life and metaphorical themes that promote social/emotional health and social engagement. Participants attend public, private, charter or International Baccalaureate (IB) schools and many are English Language Learners. Workshops and projects are designed to interact with meaningful themes that reflect student interests, strengthen community and engage with relevant social issues through creative play and dramatization.
Projects include:
- mural painting
- introduction to public art
- textile design
- interdisciplinary studies
- exploring identity through self-portraiture
- plant based dyeing and shibori folding techniques
- the creation of a plant-based color wheel
