Bus Home Revisited

Students instantly recognize this sculpture by world renowned sculptor, Dennis Oppenheim, as the bus stop at Pacific View Mall.  They quickly grasp the symbolism of the familiar shapes, colors and movement.  Their imaginations soar as they learn how to morph 2-dimensional paper into their own fantastical 3-D environments.

Four week and single lessons are also available. Our lessons are cross-curricular and support the California content standards. Many of them can be tailored and grouped to work with a particular unit of study, i.e. zoology, social studies, history, language arts, sciences, etc. They are adaptable to a wide range of grade levels from elementary through secondary grades and beyond, including community groups and programs. Programs are supported in a variety of ways, including school and PTA funds, grants, or personal donations from an individual or group of parents/grandparents.

Our program is taught by professional artists who have extensive educational experience. We feel that this criterion helps to guide the student with a deeper understanding of the art making process.
