Middle School, 2017 * Mixed media sculpture installation based on research about the Fukushima nuclear disaster. Curriculum designed by Dr. Edie Pistolesi, Dr. Lynette K. Henderson, and Dr. Kenneth Sakatani.
Middle School students studied the Fukushima nuclear disaster and its effects on ocean life. They created papier maché sea creatures using recycled materials and added florescent paint to indicate the visible effects of the radiation.

1st grade students illustrated toy designs from their imaginations, creating “turnarounds” of the toy, including the front, back, and side views. They described details including the type of materials they wanted for their toy. Middle school students selected one or two toy illustrations, met with the “designers" to ask clarifying questions, then constructed them for the 1st grade students. The toys were displayed at Open House in the “Toy Aisle” of our marketplace-themed art room.

1st grade students created imaginary pet collages from a variety of papers, based on a fantasy creature they wished to have as a pet.
Second grade students initiated ‘zines on the topic of their choice. Middle school students selected ‘zines to contribute to, based on the content and style of the originator.
3rd grade students created finger puppets based on observations of their thumbs, then designed settings to place them in. After, they wrote short stories about their characters and settings, adding a plot.

4th grade project based on figure drawing, including proportion and scale. Students created their own superhero figures and origin stories.
4th and 5th grade students created their own superhero after learning figure drawing, proportion, and perspective (one-point, bird’s-eye, and bug’s eye views). Then they developed narratives using storyboards and shot lists to create a one or two page comic about their superhero. Master’s thesis project.
Middle School students researched GMOs and transgenic processes in fruits and vegetables, then created their own genetically modified food hybrid with animals or insects for a supernatural (and often humorous or repulsive) perspective on contemporary food issues.

Children’s Crafts * Food Issues Character Sculptures.
Students self-selected a topic related to local or global food issues - food waste, accessibility, GMOs, pesticide use, effects of climate change, added sugars, truth in advertising, etc. Then they chose a food item to represent the issue and create a character sculpture with expressive qualities to communicate the message about their selected food issue. Artwork designed by Breese Maldonado, 2019.
