YAX 2D Media - Fall 2020
2D Media: Printmaking, Drawing and Painting Our students this semester explored the intersecting visual and conceptual principles within social justice advocacy and the graphic arts. They worked on two major projects throughout the semester that built their technical skill set in 2D media arts as well as strengthened their ability to express their voices on the subjects that matter to them most. In the “Borderlands” project, students explored how to both literally and figuratively deconstruct and reinvent through the medium of collage. In “Campaigning for a Revolution”, students carved out a future in which justice is met and joy is abundant. Throughout the semester we delved into drawing, mixed media and printmaking processes, maximizing the potential of what we could create within the digital divide. Faculty artist: Alyssa Aviles Youth artists: Alyssia K, Anna H, Bettie T, Casey T, David Y, Dylan Rose S, Erica L, Hannah E, Hannah M, Jazmine Abigail D, Jodi J, Joyce T, Katrina C, Lisa L, Stephanie P, Tiffany N, TingMing L, Zuri L -- Youth Art Exchange exists to make sure that San Francisco public high school students have this critical access to the arts. Our mission is to spark a shared creative practice between professional artists and public high school students, furthering youth as leaders, thinkers, and artists in San Francisco. We offer free, multidisciplinary arts programs after school, in school, and during the summer. Our vision is that every public high school student in San Francisco will have access to meaningful, in-depth arts education that amplifies their voices. youthartexchange.org This work is featured on the online gallery of Art Is Essential: 10th Annual Youth Arts Summit, which can be viewed at youthartisessential.org.
