WOMS Living: Home Goods Collection
Lead Teaching Artist Etty Alberto led West Oakland Middle School 6th graders through a nature textile unit during the 2022-23 school year, exploring natural patterns, color palettes, and composition.
Volunteer Julia Gamble shared her expertise in surface pattern design, product development, and visual merchandising as they created relief prints, texture prints, watercolors, and silkscreen prints. The students learned about creating icons and patterns with a cohesive color palette, and how to apply that pattern to a variety of three-dimensional home products.
Etty guided students in creating cyanotypes, radials composed of leaf relief prints, leaf collages using a cohesive color palette, and watercolor and pastel paintings created with abstract patterns. With various materials, students have displayed what a harmonious body of work looks like in both their creations and their collaborative merchandized collection.
The result is a merchandised collection of home goods
products under the brand created by the students: WOMS Living.

Self As Super Hero Curriculum
by Amana Harris
The ArtEsteem Self as Super Hero curriculum was inspired by our current need for heroes for our children, youth and communities.
The heroes we need are defined as exceptional individuals or beings who inspire, protect, and serve, standing and taking action for justice and for the well-being of the environment, people, and animals.
This multidisciplinary curriculum takes children, youth, and adults through a journey of self-exploration, family and cultural research, societal assessment, and development of aesthetic tools for artistic creation.
The ArtEsteem Super Hero is a re-created version of self that embodies superpowers that help create a more loving and peaceful world. In the end, the goal is to allow you to stretch your imagination and integrate your ideas to expand and make this curriculum your own.
