Identity, Value & Narrative 🎨✨
8th-grade SanDiegoSCPA Studio Art students with Mr GZ are exploring what it means to be both subject and artist through charcoal self-portraits rendered on personally meaningful surfaces!
Swipe through to trace their artistic journey: 1️⃣ Foundational Skill Builders: Mastering value scales, sphere shading, facial proportions, and feature studies. 2️⃣ Surface & Storytelling: Collaging background surfaces with meaningful ephemera before transferring proportions via the grid method. 3️⃣ Mastery of Media: Rendering light and dark using vine charcoal, charcoal pencils, tortillons, kneaded erasers, and white charcoal.
By examining self-portrait traditions from Frida Kahlo, Narsiso Martinez, and Rembrandt, our pre-conservatory students learn that drawing the self isn’t just about technique—it’s about identity, culture, and storytelling. 🖼️✍️

Two incredible SanDiegoSCPA students took the mic at the fall Comic-Con Museum Educators Night to present their comic and character design work!
Watching young artists discuss their creative process and step into their confidence on stage is a powerful reminder of why visual storytelling matters.
Moments like these build leadership, ignite passion, and give students a real platform to own their voices.

and her photo classes recently participated in City College’s Photo 360 event. The day was an incredible success, and it was clear that her preparation and commitment made a meaningful impact on students’ experience. They kicked off the morning with an outstanding presentation from City College alumni Perla, whose action sports photography portfolio truly inspired students. Her journey and work provided a powerful example of what is possible through passion, creativity, and continued education.

The lunch session featured the incredibly talented Kat De Laet, whose pet photography presentation was both engaging and memorable. A special shout out to Kat for sharing her expertise, creative process, and passion with our students it truly made an impact. Throughout the day, students had the opportunity to fully immerse themselves in hands-on learning experiences. They interacted with college students, faculty, and professors while participating in workshops such as light painting, darkroom photo developing, fashion photography with live models, photo walks, and the unique camera obscura experience. These activities gave students a true sense of what college level photography programs can offer.

One of the most rewarding takeaways from the day was hearing directly from several students who expressed strong interest in attending the City College photography program next year. That kind of inspiration and connection is exactly what Photo 360 is all about. a special shout-out to George Tubon and Caity Fares for their support and contributions in making the event run smoothly. Also, a big shout out to Jan Roberts and Audry Stover for helping with the event making sure everyone had an awesome lunch experience. AND a big thanks to Mr Kurt for joining us for the day!
