The 2015-2016 school year has begun! Our high school students have been participating in dance and painting workshops, as well as some fun community outings. See the calendar of high school events on our website. Caldera middle school youth, in classes at our 12 Arts Partner middle schools, have been creating graffiti sun drawings and learning about the color wheel as they express their energy through the image of the sun.
Also, as part of Fallen Fruit of Portland (see above) our students collaborated with professional artists, David Burns and Austin Young, to curate The Culture of We student artwork exhibit at Wieden+Kennedy! |
