SPS Northgate Elementary Artists at Work: Learning How To Mix Skin Colors and Mixing Our Own

Sunday, June 2, 2013

Yeshodara Menon Fisher and Anupama Singh presented a workshop on the scientific reason for skin color and some related cultural issues. Kathleen McHugh demonstrated how start with primary colors to mix flesh tones. Mr. Stowell allowed us to go overtime and we had a wonderful afternoon experimenting with color.

Project Background

An idea that came to life! Margaret Balderama, a family support worker at Northgate Elementary, wondered what would happen if youth made art about skin color and race. Her idea grew into an artistic collaboration with Mr. Stowell and his 4th/5th grade class. The art produced was submitted to the selection committee at the Wing Luke Museum for the exhibition Under My Skin. Our piece was accepted! Mikala Woodward,

Exhibits Developer | YouthCAN Manager,introduced Yeshodara Menon Fisher and Anupama Singh to us, who present their program at the Wing, Bridges Dialoguing Differences. Yesh and Anu deepened the students' understanding of themselves and their own art through a series of Bridges workshops with the students at Northgate Elementary. This is a record of our journey.
