Student Art Across the Island

Bay Farm middle schoolers studied lunar landscapes taken by the Hubble Telescope to inspire their artwork. Franklin students were inspired by Jackson Pollack and Ruby Bridges students by Monet. Academy of Alameda students thought about individuals who have made a difference in the world and honored them with collage portraits.

These are just a few samples of student artwork now on display as part of the Alameda Education Foundation’s “Art Across the Island,” a showcase of student artwork at venues across Alameda. This fall 11 schools are showcasing their art, including Encinal Jr. High, Otis Elementary, Haight Elementary, Wood Jr. Beavers, ACLC, ASTI and Island High, in addition to those named above. A complete list of art classes and venues may be found here.

Art Across the Island began in 2016 as an ongoing exhibition of student visual and literary art.  As of this fall, art from every Alameda public school has been on display.
