The study of graffiti art supports student learning about social and emotional self care, individual identity, Ethnic Studies, visual arts skills, critical thinking, and social movements, while giving them a more tactile relationship with words and literacy. 

The Where Art Lives program provides free support for your students to use graffiti art  to deepen their learning and explore what they can do for their community. 

 

The Where Art Lives program will provide:
- art supplies for your classrooms,
- a sketchbook for each of your students
- lesson plans, videos, and drawing pages
- visits by teaching artists
-  a stipend for teachers

 

 We're looking for SFUSD teachers to help test and refine a set of lessons to explore graffiti art with their students in fall 2021. This may be best for 6th grade classroom teachers of history, English Language Development, AVID, English Language Arts, Leadership, and Arts.

After school teachers are also welcome.
