English II A students at Pacific High School recently participated in a fine arts gallery walk to deepen their understanding of Julius Caesar. 🎭

As they explored a variety of artistic depictions, students analyzed elements such as color palette, lighting, materials, facial expressions, and gestures. They then connected those observations to what they have learned about Caesar’s character through their reading of Shakespeare’s play.

This activity created thoughtful discussion as students brought literature and visual art together! 🎨

This annual opportunity helps students build confidence, advocacy skills, and a deeper understanding of civic engagement. 🏛️
