Let your students enjoy the fruitful benefits of mural workshops.
Mural Workshops
We have successfully coordinated workshops that bring in collaboration between stakeholders and community members.
Art workshops gives students an opportunity to practice their team skills, open dialogue with teachers and each other about social issues. As artists not only do we help students voice their creative ideas but we like to speak about our artistic journeys so they can gain stronger sense of the ability to make possible income and careers out of them.
Creative Empowerment
Creative empower has diminished in school’s as budgets have been cut, we believe the heart and soul of the youth lies in their creativite spirit. We strive to be a positive igniting force to reminding them of their creative strength in they’re worlds that are wrapped general course of math and English.
Above Ygnacio Valley High Cultural Mural
In collaboration with YVHS Art students and CARES after school program, a mural was created to represent the cultures that represents the communities spirit.
Students who played a part of the creation of mural were given certificates of achievements awarded by Principal Pike, got to sign their name on the Mural, and were given a small pizza party for their hard work during lunch.
Social and Emotional Learning
Art has many therapuetic benefits for youth. Youth deal with not only social pressure but anxiety perhaps at home, their environments or from growing up. The action of art gives them a sense of control in the now, putting all their energy into the painting. This is beneficial for them stopping their minds from dwelling on anxiety and being in a positive environment, the production of endorphins ( feel good chemicals) are also being produced and stimulates the physiological wellness of students and youth.
Above Mount Diablo High Health Pathways School Mural
In collaboration with MDHS Health pathways and John Muir Health, as well as the Art department and ASP. The efforts to help promote the school’s health pathways program brought its community to give art students an opportunity in and after school an opportunity to show their skills. John Muir is a partner of the school district and was in favor of letting the mural play as a reminder of their values of promoting diversity in health careers. The mural acts as a resource holding a QR code that enables students learn about joining the program.
These collaborative murals are a very positive asset that are underestimated, the murals are a great way to get the community to help one another and promote the values of education as well as student empowerment.
