Kids + Art
At a local K-8 school, I was part of a volunteer
committee that worked to enhance students’
access to arts education & cultural enrichments,
when public funds were cut for such learning.
As volunteer field trips coordinator, I co-created
a program for over 400 students. By reaching
out to local museums and cultural institutions,
we gained access to free field trips and brought
programs on-campus. This made it possible for
kids to benefit from the vast offerings of LA.
As a volunteer art teacher, I worked with grades
1 thru 4 teachers to bring art & design projects
supporting visual & core curriculum into the
classroom. Explore Student Art Projects here:
