With the support and guidance from the Netter Center, Sayre High School, and wonderful art mentors team, our team founded the Particiaptory Art Mentorship Program, a weekly after school program at Sayre High School that offers under-resourced high school students the opportunity to explore, learn, and create artwork in the realm of animation, architecture, and design.
A group of art students (mentors) from the University of Pennsylvania visit Sayre High School twice a week to mentor and create art with the high school students (mentees).
Outcomes:
- Organized 60 mentorship sessions and workshops, four exhibitions, four meetings with industry professionals, and two art sale.
- Collaborating with educational insitutions and 18 art mentors.
- Developed a 15-week seminar for Philadelphia School Destrict teachers to integrate animation into their curriculum.
