Annual Culminating Event–Class of 2009-10!
April 27th, 2010
This year’s 10th annual Culminating Event was engaging, fun, and chock full of ideas!
-
- The event started off with an inspiring speech by author and educator extraordinaire Paul Cummins, the Executive Director of the New Visions Foundation and Founder of P.S. Arts. He said that we celebrate life through art, and we couldn’t agree more.
-
- Storyteller Makinto described how he developed a story inspired by Christ’s Entry into Brussels in 1889 by Belgian painter James Ensor. Then he treated everyone to an excerpt of his engaging story.
-
- Teachers such as Sylvia Garcia, kindergarten teacher at Bassett Street Elementary School, shared their success stories with teaching with works of art and including art-making activities in their lessons.
-
- Teachers were excited to receive free prints of a 16th century manuscript page by Joris Hoefnagel.
-
- The food at the reception was delicious–baked brie, mixed nuts, fruit, and brownies. Yum!

- 1st Grade Teacher Elida Lozano from Ellen Ochoa Learning Center was inspired by an 18th century French bed. Students created their own fancy beds out of mixed media.
