Pulse Arts is committed to empowering youth by providing creative opportunities to address social issues and ignite community change through the arts.
Each week, students participate in 30 minutes of an art activity that teaches technique and encourages experimentation with various materials. The goal of the visual arts workshop is to inspire confidence and block out a period for students to freely create with supportive lessons made according to their interests. Students learned the elements, or fundamentals of art through color wheels, a line and pattern paint project, and using master artists like Gustav Klimt as example to replicate artwork such as The Tree of Life with similar techniques. Besides creating seasonal drawings like wax-resist pumpkins and Day of the Dead collage skeletons, students also used oil pastels, markers, charcoal, pencil, acrylic paint, and crayons to make landscapes and drawings in a cartoon and anime style.
Pulse Arts supports local, professional artists, educators, and arts organizations in the design and implementation of programs that increase access to creative learning opportunities for under-served youth in California. We believe that ART is for ALL as a necessity and not an option. We intentionally seek out micro-communities and students least likely to have a vibrant, supported art practice and co-create the discipline that best encourages their growth.
Pulse Arts is committed to keeping arts in schools funded, empowering young people with tools to address social issues, pursue creative careers, and ignite community change through the arts, integrating arts programs, and art therapy. We also offer internships/mentorship, dual-enrollment studio art support, gifted/magnet arts identification support, art therapy, and community/family engagement arts experiences.
We hold that art intersects every facet of life and want to link the most vulnerable communities as early, as often, and as close to home as possible.
