It was a fun night on Venice Blvd. this week. Roleen, Kris, Amy, Cindy and Jessica set up the front yard to welcome the public into New School-West for the Mar Vista Art Walk. This season, we decided to display our work on self-portraits. We create self-portraits with children each year in an effort to develop a keen sense of self and a strong self image. In 2012, the children took us in a slightly different direction. They wanted to express emotions in their self portraits. The named their emotions, described what they meant and twisted their faces, stuck out their tongues and expressed themselves in their portraits.
We invited the public to do the same. We had Clarke’s family engage with us, and Eva (Sol’s mom, EW) documented along with Andrew (Clarke’s dad).

Join the Outreach Team to organize the next Art Walk and help us decide how to represent the children’s work to invite the public into a stronger image of children’s capabilities and the importance of quality preschool. -Kristin
