Adorable Creations from Students at East Palo Alto Charter School

So Cute!

Students at East Palo Alto Charter School participated in our Pet Painters program to create portraits of their favorite adoptive animals from the shelter at Silicon Valley Animal Control Authority. Summerlynn Burlew, K–8 art instructor, says that the students just loved the fun. My students identified with the animals, and even the youngest took to their crayons with a passion. There seems to be a joyful connection between animal and artist through this process.

“This program creates empathy and art. I recommend it!” – Summerlynn Burlew, K–8 art instructor”
