Integrated Arts?

The Integrated Arts is a model designed to offer support, extension, and supplementary experiences in content areas through interdisciplinary arts activities. The Common Core Standards' emphasis on developing depth and rigor in thought and the ability to communicate relevant information with increasing skill provides the necessary impetus for this model. Content will be viewed through many lenses, allowing the entirety of relevant ideas to be processed and applied broadly and with added depth. Work with visual arts, music, drama, literature, writing, technology, and design will be incorporated and collaboration with classroom teachers will be ongoing. As Yeats wrote, "Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire". The Integrated Arts is an opportunity to light a very purposeful, very directed fire.

Portraits of the Boy-King



Tutankhamun Portraits
Sixth Grade
After many weeks of careful study in correspondence with social studies work, students have finished oil-pastel Pharoah Tutankhamun portraits. Proportion, Triadic and complementary color combinations, and three zoned shading were the main foci. Students’ thoughtful work and detailed artistry create vivid images of the Boy-King.

Well done Sixth-grade!
