The Big Idea V: Engage and Persist

The Big Idea V: Engage and Persist

By Bruce-Guadalupe Elementary and Middle School Students | June, 2017

The Big Idea 5: Engage and Persist exhibition commemorates the ALMA Program, which showcases the artistic knowledge and skill of Bruce-Guadalupe Elementary and Middle School students in 3rd through 8th grades, and includes a lesson plan overview that complements the art produced in the 2016-17 school year. The 6th grade class from UCC-Acosta Middle School joined this innovative approach to art integrated education and exhibition series. Artwork demonstrated ALMA student’s exploration of culturally relevant ‘Big Ideas’ such as immigration, cultural identity, community, origin, perseverance, and the American dream.
