Launch

Kick off the learning experience with a 'Collaborative Art Jam' where students individually create small art pieces inspired by traditional and contemporary art styles from various cultures.

Students will have the opportunity to discuss and select cultural elements that resonate with them, fostering a sense of identity and belonging from the outset.

Exhibition

Students will showcase their mixed-media art installations in a class gallery exhibition, inviting peers, teachers, and community members, including representatives from the Menifee Arts Council, to attend. Each student will present their artwork, explaining the cultural influences and creative processes involved. The exhibition will focus on individual art pieces, allowing students to highlight their unique interpretations and blend of traditional and contemporary styles.
