Student creativity is limitless. However, access to equipment and supplies to make those creations a reality is limited. Help supply student creativity and inspire thinkers!
Middle school students are creative and enjoy taking creative risks.
Our public charter school challenges students with art, dance, and music as a rotation for everyone, as well as the arts that support curriculum in each classroom. For the gorgeous project pictured as a thumbnail, students worked tirelessly and collaboratively for three and one-half school days on the five foot square piece! Each student's ideas were honored and represented in this wall sculpture that will grace our school's walls for many years to come. They take great pride in the perseverance needed to complete such a complex task. As a matter of fact, it and two other sculptures are being shown in an art show this week! Their work represents the best in each of them as individuals and as a team.
My Project
Students will create additional fabric sculptures to embellish the walls and soften the sound in the hallways of our new home, a preK- 8th grade school. They will also use the sewing machine to make costumes for theatrical or dance productions, where they perform throughout each school year at our school and within our community. Projects won't be hindered by access to supplies and the creativity of the students will be the only barrier to project creation. Many students had not considered the many doors that open to them as creative thinkers. Our school takes pride in helping students find more out about themselves, find a passion.
Inspiring students to think and be comfortable with the successes and failures inherent in the creative process build stronger citizens.
Visual and performing arts allow students to express themselves when, for some, words do not come easily. It is imperative that we nurture creative thinkers, who feel free to express themselves and help make the world a better place for all!
