Dream Pillows made by The Tuesdays HomeSchoolers Group-They are stuffed with wool and the facing is filled with lavender, rose and mugwort. These were made by two girls 5 and 8 with some sewing help from Marie and their mother.
Journals Made by The Girl’s Group-we sewed the pages in and decorated the covers with collage.
Inside the girls wrote about themselves and did sketches for their henna tattoo project.
Pumpkin Bouquets made by The ArtStar Girl’s Group for the local school’s Harvest Feast.
Mexican Sugar Skulls made by The ArtStar Girl’s Group in our study of The Day of The Dead.
The Skulls are currently on display as part of an exhibit at the local public library.

Self-Portraits created by ArtStar’s Girls Group- we studied the paintings of Frida Kahlo and talked about how art can be used to express feelings and help us communicate things to others by using symbols to represent our experiences.They were so interested in how she portrayed her sorrow and love as well as her very bushy eyebrows!

We all had so much fun creating t-shirts!
A shirt and stencil made by Jose- he worked so hard on this and it came out great!
“Taino Symbols” Jose (11th grader at PVPA) combined a couple of Puerto-Rican symbols together to create this unique t-shirt design.
