SD104 teachers & staff had the privilege of having the world-famous art collective, Lapzitola, come all the way from Oaxaca to create artwork for our Día de los Muertos workshop! Participants worked with stencils and “spray paint,” mimicking the artistic process Lapiztola uses to create art worldwide. They created their own Day of the Dead skull which was displayed at our annual Día de los Muertos celebration.

ABOUT LAPIZTOLA: The name of this urban art group, “Lapiztola,” explains their mission with a clever play on words: it combines lápiz, Spanish for “pencil,” and pistola, meaning “pistol,” to represent their commitment to using art as a creative weapon to spread political and social messages to the public. The three artists, Rosario, Roberto, and Yankel, use photography, digital media, and collage to create stencils for their murals and street art.

El personal docente y administrativo del distrito escolar SD104 tuvo el privilegio de recibir al colectivo artístico de renombre mundial, Lapzitola, quien viajó desde Oaxaca para crear obras de arte para nuestro taller del Día de los Muertos. Los participantes trabajaron con plantillas y pintura en aerosol, imitando el proceso artístico que Lapzitola utiliza para crear arte en todo el mundo. Cada participante creó su propia calavera del Día de los Muertos, la cual se exhibió en nuestra celebración anual de esta festividad.

SOBRE LAPIZTOLA: El nombre de este colectivo de arte urbano, “Lapiztola”, explica su misión con un ingenioso juego de palabras: combina lápiz y pistola, representando así su compromiso con el uso del arte como arma creativa para difundir mensajes políticos y sociales. Los tres artistas, Rosario, Roberto y Yankel, utilizan fotografía, medios digitales y collage para crear plantillas para sus murales y obras de arte callejero.

Wharton students and staff wore orange today for Unity Day, a day of inclusion and bullying prevention. 🧡

Unity Day celebrates and promotes kindness, acceptance, and inclusion to prevent bullying. This is why students and staff at Graves Elementary wore orange clothing to send a united message that no one should feel alone and that everyone should be treated with respect. 🧡

El Día de la Unidad celebra y promueve la amabilidad, la aceptación y la inclusión para prevenir el acoso escolar. Por eso, los estudiantes y el personal de la Escuela Graves vistieron con ropa naranja para enviar un mensaje de unidad que nadie debe sentirse solo y todos deben ser tratados con respeto. 🧡

Happy Diwali from School District 104!
