April at Urban Arts

April was a busy month at Urban Arts!

Our April artists of the month were Diego Rivera and Jose Orozco. Rivera and Orozco were Mexican painters, and both created many famous murals. To learn about and celebrate thier work, the after school students painted a mural in the preschool classroom. Students were also hard at work painting backdrops for their original play!

This month Urban Arts also took a field trip to Highpoint Center for Printmaking where students were able to make thier own relief prints!
