Student at VisionQuest, had a professional photographer came out to had photo-shoot with them using they backdrop, that they created for the four freedom. We also had a trip to the African-American Museum where we learned more about the African-American history.. #muralartseducation #VisionQuest

We had a visiting photographer come to our classroom at NET and took photos of the students in front of our freedom backdrop. The photographer was Dana Singer and she takes photos of working class communities from New Jersey. Students enjoyed looking at her work and had a lot to say about what kind of narratives they got from looking at her photos, and shared personal stories about their families as well!

Went on a field trip with our NET students to the Fabric Workshop and they got to screen print their own bandana. We also looked at the exhibition they have and did a little art project with sticky notes and displayed it in the gallery.

This week at Artrepeneurs, we hit the streets of Chinatown with guest photographer Bonnie Saporetti from the Philadelphia Photo Arts Center and learned all about executing beautiful compositions! 

Saint Gabe‘s students created their own freedoms. They also projected and traced their backdrop.#StGabe’s #muralartseducation
