Drawn Together Art Show
Drawn Together is a unique collection of art produced by special education and general education students in Redwood City schools. Students create art projects together and discover how diversity results in a stronger, more beautiful world.
Drawn Together projects are designed by SEPTAR board members who look for ideas that will illustrate the principal that diversity creates a more interesting world. The projects are also intended to give children the opportunity to apply that concept experientially; it is equally important that the children enjoy each other’s company, feel proud of their work together, and come away looking forward to spending more time with each in the future.
We are also inspired by the annual Inclusive Schools Week held around the nation to promote and celebrate inclusivity in our schools. Drawn Together is part of this ongoing effort to provide inclusive opportunities throughout the school year where children with different abilities can spend time together.
The Drawn Together project typically groups children from Special Day Classes (SDC), which are classes comprised of children with special needs, and from general education classes to work collaboratively on a series of art projects.
