Semester & Year-long Program Themes
This program brings a shared creative theme to life through hands-on art-making, literature, and social-emotional learning. Designed in collaboration with partners, these experiences invite young people to explore big ideas, discover new perspectives, and build connections through art.
Current Curriculum Theme: “Artists are Everywhere!”
Artists Are Everywhere invites students to explore artists and art forms from around the world. Along the way, they discover how creativity can bring people together, even when their lives and experiences are different.
The series follows a creative journey! Students begin by making a luggage tag and finish by creating their own passport journal. Along the way, they experiment with unique art forms like gold leafing, sewing, and clay while taking part in meaningful conversations.
Through art and exploration, students build kindness, empathy, and respect while learning to recognize and celebrate the strengths in themselves and others.
Previous Cirriculum themes
Artists are Confident!
This curriculum explored identity, self-awareness, and emotional literacy. The goal of this theme was to empower students to celebrate their identity while exploring various process-based art mediums. These fun projects were based on the foundational skills of visuals arts and encouraged low pressure open-ended exploration, discovery, and creativity.
Artists use their Senses!
This curriculum featured sensory and process-based art that highlights unique tools and textures. The goal of this theme was to enhance the brain-body connection, promote curiosity and foster emotional regulation. Youth created their “inner critic” —that little voice inside that can be hard on us. Through the art and conversations, students learned to notice that voice and practice how to respond to it with kindness.
Artists Tell Stories!
This curriculum featured storytelling components. The goal of this theme was to empower students to express their identity and creativity through narrative in art making.
This theme was a true journey! Our Art Adventurers embarked on quests, unlocked new skills, and discovered endless creative possibilities in the realm of art on their way to becoming a true Art Hero.
