Murals Showing Love for the BAY (Before All Yuck)
Third grade students in Art with a Heart classes at
Monarch Academy created murals focused on water pollution: what it is, how it happens, and advocacy to promote changes. Each student was assigned to one of seven panels to research and illustrate the themes related to how pollution affects the environment. The students then worked together to create these vibrant community art pieces.
Stay tuned for images of the completed panels.

Underground Railroad Signs to Freedom
Pre-kindergarten students in Art with a Heart classes at
Kidzstuff Child Care Center created a collaborative freedom quilt in honor of Black History Month. Students learned about three different quilt patterns that abolitionists and escaped slaves used to communicate in the
Underground Railroad
. Students then created paper quilt squares of the "Flying Geese" pattern (told slaves which direction to follow), the "Bowtie" pattern (showed slaves where they could pick up clean clothes) and the "Crossroad" pattern (marked the areas where slaves could stop to get further instructions along their journey).

Roots and Branches Students Take Flight!!!
These beautiful wings are composed of over 250 individually painted feathers. In January, Art with a Heart engaged over 150
Roots and Branches students and their families at the school's community night. It was a lovely evening of creating these colorful wings inspired by the artist,
Frank Smith and listening to smooth jazz. In February, the project took flight with the installation of
over 250 individually painted feathers. A beautiful and fun Art with a Heart collaboration now adorns a hall of the school.
