Plein Air Funded Projects
We have received funding for two projects from Plein Air! They are listed below. They are after school classes for 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th grades. This is a collaboration between ArtEscape, Plein Air and El Verano.
Project One
This project will create Mexican Art inspired mosaics on the cement planters in the El Verano courtyard. The students will learn to make a small mosaic piece in class and will then participate in the design and installation of mosaics covering the cement planters. The classes will be held on Thursdays from 3:15 to 5:15 fro 4th and 5th grades.
This program will provide exposure to Mexican culture and art through a project that reflects Mexican traditions. Students of Mexican descent are unfamiliar with the artists that define their heritage. The study of Mexican art will help ground these students in their cultural identity. All students will benefit from the exposure to Mexican artists and It also provides the opportunity to learn and use Spanish vocabulary.
Project Two
For grades 2 and 3, the classes will be theme based focusing on Mexican artists Frida Kahlo, Jose Guadalupe Posada, Pedro Linares and others. Art Escape will bring instructors and art materials to El Verano School for 24 two hour classes. Twelve classes will be scheduled in January through April, and an additional 12 classes in September through December 2018, for a total of 96 hours of art class time. For each month, up to 20 students will be selected to attend 3 consecutive weeks of 2 hour classes.
