We will work on a new project each day exploring oil pastels, watercolor, acrylics, collage, and mask-making. Learners will be directed based on technical and social-emotional skills—while also being given freedom to personalize each finished piece.
Sarah Ekedal, Art Coordinator at Grant UTK–8 Elementary in Mission Hills, specializes in creating art projects that connect young artists with the broader community. While teaching art at Grant, Sarah coordinates numerous young art displays in the community, including the coordination of the production of 70 hand-painted banners for the annual Colors on Canvas Banners contest. She partnered with the New Children’s Museum to implement their Social Emotional Learning Through Art curriculum. Previously, Sarah was the art coordinator at Lindbergh-Schweitzer Elementary (now Clairemont Canyons Academy) and taught at Clay for Kids.

Athenaeum Music & Arts Library
The Athenaeum Music & Arts Library, located in the heart of La Jolla, Calif., in San Diego County, is one of only 16 nonprofit membership libraries in the United States. This rare cultural institution, an important one to the greater San Diego area, offers a depth and accessibility of resources and programs found nowhere else in the region. The library, devoted exclusively to music and art, has an outstanding and ever-expanding collection of books, periodicals, reference material, compact discs, videocassettes, DVDs, sheet music and librettos, as well as one of the most significant collections of artists' books in Southern California. The library is open to the public five days a week and members can check out materials for a modest annual fee. The Athenaeum also presents an eclectic, year-round schedule of art exhibitions, concerts (classical, jazz and new music), lectures, studio art classes through its School of the Arts, tours and special events. To quote the San Diego Union-Tribune, "There are few libraries in America as unusual as the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library." Admission: Admission to the library is free. Gallery exhibits are free and open to the general public. Materials may be used in the library or checked out by members. Borrowing privileges are limited to members only. Books may be checked out for four weeks and all CDs, videos and DVDs for two weeks. Materials may be reserved in advance. Guided Tours: Free guided tours take place the third Saturday of every month at 11 a.m.
