Recently Art Teacher Patty Kaminski at Don Bosco Technical Academy in Paterson and her
students completed an arts integration project with the Memory Project: Portraits of
Kindness featuring young children from Puerto Rico. This was especially meaningful to
these students as several of them have close relatives in Puerto Rico who have suffered
greatly due to Hurricane Maria.
This Arts Integration project was created under the auspices of the
Geraldine R. Dodge Arts Integration Grant and was supported by grant-funded Art Professor
in Residence Triada Samaras from William Paterson University COE to create a
collaboration between children in Paterson and children in Puerto Rico incorporating: social
studies, world language, and portraiture via the Memory Project.
The culmination is this inspiring video:
An earlier project that Ms. Kamiski and her students did with children from the Philippines can be found here:
