Investor
Thank you to the following investor for funding this grant.
Suncoast Credit Union - $620.00
Goal
To provide authentic examples, guidance, and support for hands-on art activities for all of our middle school art teachers and students enrolled in Art in World Cultures
What will be done with my students
Students will learn about a variety of world cultures and their art. Students will have the opportunity to create art in the style of authentic art from these different world cultures. These cultures/this art will be from the home countries of some of our students, including, but not limited to the following examples:
Haiti-oil drum art, sequined Vodou flags, painted tap tap busses
Mexico-Amate bark painting, Huichol yarn painting, Papel picado, sugar skulls
Africa-Kente cloth, Ankora wax prints, animal masks, Sabai woven grass basket
China-Asian brush painting
Japan-Gyotaku fish prints
Egypt-hieroglyphics, pyramids, profile portraits
Native American-Seminole patchwork doll, coil pottery, weaving
Benefits to my students
Students will be exposed to art beyond the traditional 'famous artists' of Europe and America. They will be provided with a window into the culture and the authentic art from that culture. This grant will fund a series of traveling 'bins' that will move from middle school to middle school with historical information, art examples, lesson plans, and materials.
Art in World Cultures is taught in our middle schools.
NOTE: My direct supervisors are now Skip Pardee in Fine Arts and Elizabeth Alves in Teaching and Learning.
Budget Narrative
ALL of the materials requested in this grant are non-consumable. The individual schools will provide the consumable materials. The Fine Arts department will provide the samples, lesson plans, and other non-consumable materials, like the GYOTAKU rubber fish and the cardboard weaving looms.
