What to Expect
Students develop opinions and share their personal responses through a selection of artworks and themes. Our students are always doing, talking, moving and making more than they are asked to sit and listen.
Our NEW 2019 - 2020 Workshops:
- Are truly cross-curricular using our 21st Century Learning approach.
- Are differentiated in content for your grade.
- Are dynamic, interactive, connected and loved!
Our programming is developed around our philosophy:
The arts teach...- That problems can have more than one solution.
- There are many ways to see and interpret the world.
- Complex forms of problem solving; situations are seldom fixed, but change with circumstance and opportunity.
- That the limits of our language do not define the limits of our cognition.
- Depth over breadth and the ability to leap across disciplines.
21st Century Learning model through the arts:
The 4Cs- Creativity
- Collaboration
- Critical Thinking
- Communication
- Our 5th C is Curiosity!
