CalTPA Cycle 2: Adornment (Art 1 and Advanced Art)

What do the objects we put on our bodies say about who we are, the values we have, and the communities and cultures we find ourselves a part of? This was the question that led to the development, teaching, and implementation of a unit about adornment and jewelry-making. Taught in Spring 2026, students in the Art 1 and Advanced Art classes answered this leading question by creating an adornment collage.
