What's Campus Canvas?
Local Artists Take Over Memorial Elementary.
Our campus is your canvas. This is an opportunity to fill the empty walls with vibrant and diverse art for the kiddoes. As Memorial Elementary is an International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme (PYP) Candidate school, the goal is to represent the PYP’s six transdisciplinary themes:
WHO WE ARE
WHERE WE ARE IN PLACE AND TIME
HOW WE EXPRESS OURSELVES
HOW THE WORLD WORKS
HOW WE ORGANIZE OURSELVES
SHARING THE PLANET
