California Teachers Association 150th Anniversary

CTA’s 3-dimensional art celebrates the first 150 years of California Teachers Association: the history, leadership, membership growth and benefits, advocacy, impact on national public education and vision for the future.

The piece is designed with birdseye maple, suggesting an open book. A timeline with 150 Years of Advocacy for Public Education borders the left and right.

The story flows counterclockwise from the top left pages and features scores of photos, publications and 3D items. The evolution of teaching tools is highlighted throughout, including a vintage chalkboard with a quote from CTA’s founder on the left. In juxtaposition, on the right, is a contemporary iPad with CTA and other educational apps.
