Purpose
This project engages 6th-grade students in exploring art, culture, and social justice through hands-on experiences in San Diego's outdoor spaces. Students will begin with culinary arts to explore cultural identity and heritage, incorporating music creation as an option for their deliverables. They will then focus on designing inclusive living spaces and developing survival skills, leveraging nature as a community partner to emphasize sustainability. The project culminates in creating public art installations and multimedia campaigns, addressing homelessness and fostering community dialogue through digital platforms like YouTube and Instagram.
Learning goals
Students will explore cultural identity through cooking, enhancing their understanding of belonging and heritage, while integrating music creation as a form of expression. They will design inclusive living spaces and learn outdoor survival skills in San Diego's natural environments to promote sustainability and environmental stewardship. Students will create public art installations and multimedia advocacy campaigns, culminating in discussions and digital portfolio presentations on platforms like YouTube and Instagram, using nature as a community partner.
