Week of 5/8/2022 - Celebration of art!!

 Zamorano Fine Arts Academy's Celebration of art returned after 3 years! This event gave families a chance to step into our campus for the first time since the pandemic started!!

We are 3 full time art teachers and 1 teacher that works every Friday and we had an amazing collection of works to display in our auditorium! Here are some photos from the event - we worked hard and put on an amazing show!!

 I created QR codes that linked to my blog, presented a variety of multicultural themed works,  displayed examples of how I use literacy in my class via compare and contrast, poems and adjectives to describe ourselves and sculptures in clay, foil and paper!

 There was also the Kolam display from kinder, 1st and 2nd grade - it was windy that day and I spent a lot of time fixing th plates the wind constantly blew away in spite of adding weights on them! 

The classroom teachers created artwork with all students in their class and displayed them in the south side of campus so every student was represented.

Our area superintendent, staff from VAPA, members from the San Diego Unified School District Board of Education, members from VAPA foundation and teachers from other schools also stopped by to see our exhibit!

Teachers walked their classes to see the exhibit on Thursday and Friday so they could write fan letters to a student artist whose work they admired - I differentiated and sent teachers a template to suit the needs of K-1, 2-3 and 4-5. It was awesome to see students use the word bank I provided  and use academic vocabulary in their letters!
