Students from Zane Middle School are showing their “Identity Stencil” artworks in a show called “Who Are You?” at the Morris Graves Youth Art Gallery opening December 3, 2016 for Arts Alive.
In this project, students designed an image based upon character traits, and they used stencils and spray paint to make their images come to life. The works are filled with unique symbols, personal histories, and most importantly, self-identification.

This “Identity Stencils” lesson was made possible with the help of the North Coast Arts Integration Project. With arts integration support, students successfully and meaningfully completed California Standards for the Visual Arts as well as Common Core English Language Arts standards. Throughout the project students engaged in writing about their art and the art of others, culminating in a written Artist’s Statement which explains the metaphors and visual symbolism they used in their art.
The North Coast Arts Integration Project (artsintegration.net) is a four year federal grant for eight local schools to increase engagement and understanding of core content through arts integration. Project coordinator Bill Funkhouser stated, “We are seeing consistent gains in student achievement and interest as the core curriculum is taught in combination with visual and performing arts.”
