We love receiving artwork from our Shared Walls partners across the city, showing us what they’re up to! Art teachers at participating schools are provided with a copy of our Art Lesson Plan Book, as well as an art installation for their schools featuring a working artist.
Teachers use the artwork in the art gallery installation as well as featured artists in their Art Lesson Plan Book to inspire student creativity.
Stephany Jimenez’s class at Seward Elementary in Back of the Yards created some incredible art inspired by Jean Michel Basquiat! Using a lesson plan from her copy of the Art Lesson Plan Book, Stephany guided the class through learning about Basquiat’s art and life. They discussed visual elements of his work and unique aspects of his style, before setting out to create their own Basquiat-inspired masterpieces. The results are pretty stunning!
