Buses take alternate route to teaching
2004
Overview
Alternate Routes, an arts program by the local non-profit organization Side Street Projects (SSP), brings woodworking to elementary school children via their colorful buses. Decorated with bright murals by local artists, the mobile workshops are equipped with enough wood and hand tools to accommodate sessions of 10 students at a time. \"Woodworking is an exercise in spatial problem solving,\" said [Jon Lapointe]. While the workshops are meant to be fun, he said, they are also meant to build children's confidence with tools and teach scale, pattern and proportion. The program fulfills requirements outlined in the state's Education Standards for Visual Arts and Mathematics. Both Lapointe and Lujan attribute Alternate Routes' burgeoning success to the support of the Pasadena community. This summer, the City of Pasadena Cultural Grant has brought the program to several local schools, including the Sierra Madre Elementary, Franklin Elementary and Mayfield Junior schools.
