Introducing Children’s Art Academy, an innovative art program for children offered only at the Art Station. Children’s Art Academy offers in-depth, sequential art classes designed to deepen a child’s appreciation of art, develop artistic thinking, strengthen art-making skills, and cultivate personal expression. As students progress through each year of Art Academy, they assemble a portfolio, participate in critiques, and gain artistic confidence.

Children’s Art Academy: Intro to Drawing, Painting and ClayAges 6-8 & 9-13This in-depth sequential art class is for students who love making art or would like to continue building basic skills in all areas of art-making. Students will expand their art literacy (knowledge and skills) by using the elements and principles of design in more complex and creative ways. Expand upon basic skills, art history and cultural studies, critique and reflection, practice projects, independent creation and portfolio creation. Students should have completed the Fall 2011 “Children’s Art Academy” or have art experience. $320Sess. 1 | Ages 6-8 | T | Feb 14-Jun 5 (No class Mar 27) | 4pm-6 | Williams/BommaritoSess. 2 | Ages 9-13 | M | Jan 30-Jun 4 (No class Feb 20, Mar 26, May 28) | 4pm-6 | Schoessler

Children’s Art Academy: Color mixing, Brush Control and CompositionAges 9-13This course appeals to those for whom painting is a joy, a curiosity, a commitment. Expect to use elements and principles of design while developing skills in color-mixing, brush control, mixing media (such as drawing and painting) with both invented and observed themes. Enjoy viewing and discussing a wide variety of artists’ painting styles and subjects. Students will likely use three painting media in this course (subject to change with instructor): water media (water color and tempera), oil and acrylic paint. Students should have prior drawing and/or painting class experience. $320W | Feb 15-Jun 6 (No class March 28) | 2:30pm–4:30 | Schoessler

Early childhood classes are highly experimental and exploratory. Emphasizing discovery and spontaneity, these classes are an excellent way for toddlers and preschoolers to develop fine motor skills, problem-solving techniques, and pro-social behaviors such as respect for tools, self, and others. These developmentally-appropriate family classes are meant to support a child’s social, physical, and cognitive development through the exploration of art.

YouthYouth classes introduce students to the principles of art and design–the building blocks used to create a work of art. We focus on developing specific technical and artistic skills and knowledge. Our teaching and learning process also promotes critical thinking and problem-solving skills, as well as pro-social behaviors.

What Schools Can Participate?Any public or private school in our service area can host an artist. Arts Central serves five counties: Deschutes, Jefferson, Crook, Lake, and Klamath. 5411 students participated in our residency program in the 2009-2010 school year.

How Can a Residency Enrich Your School?There are several ways our teaching artists can bring the arts to your school, from performances and lectures to hands-on arts projects. Schools may combine two or more residencies for a richer program. Arts Central staff and teaching artists can create a specific plan before each residency or presentation.

1. Arts enrichment and/or specific art skill building for its own sake. Students experience visual or performing art elements and principles and use them to create artwork or presentations.

2. Arts linked to specific classroom learning objectives. Teachers and artist plan how content knowledge (such as science cycles), specific skills (such as re-telling or writing) or skills (such as measuring) can inspire artistic expression.

3. A “meet the artist” lecture-demonstration (usually one hour for 1-3 classes at a time). Engaging, interactive, but not usually hands-on. Where do artists and performers get ideas? How do they prepare, and how do they create? Includes artist demonstrations and may include media such as slides, art samples, and career information you can print out for students.

4. An assembly performance in theater, dance or music.

5. A family art night. An artist leads families in hands-on fun and learning, or may perform dance, music or theatre work for the families.

Artists in SchoolsInvite a painter, African drummer, drama coach, or writer into your classroom! Watch the delight on your students’ faces as they learn new skills in music, drama, visual arts, and creative writing. We have an AIS Artist Directory of 15 professional dancers, musicians, artists, actors and writers who love to teach children and youth their art form. Let one of our talented and skilled teaching artists transform your students and curriculum and bring the magic of the arts into your classroom. Please visit artscentraloregon.org/ArtistResidency_Artforms.php for a residency application.

6. A custom-designed project for a class or larger group.

7. Curriculum development and alignment of art standards with other content standards.

8. Staff and/or parent leader in-service. Call for information on variety, focus and presenters.

9. An art installation or media production for a classroom, school or community site. Permanent or semi-permanent, with or without student art involvement. Examples: garden, entrance or courtyard sculpture, murals, DVD or other semi-permanent media (book, film/video creation or documentation, etc).

10. Contemporary and historical art and culture presentations with slides, visuals and/or artifacts and original works. For elementary classrooms and secondary art,

humanities, and social science classes. Any requests for time period/theme, culture or

Arts & Culture Alliance Guiding Principals

The alliance is unified under the following guiding principals:

1. Central Oregon’s creative economy and cultural industry is thriving and visible. 2. Central Oregon is known as a cultural destination (regionally, statewide, beyond). 3. The quality of life in our region is higher because of the presence of culture.

Why Are We Doing This?Central Oregon faces some unique challenges. Unlike most communities in the state, there is no funding for arts and culture from our local governments. Additionally, cultural organizations have shrinking budgets, limited resources, and decreasing private sector funding. Nationwide the answer is collaborations with initiatives being launched to increase the public’s personal interest and investment in culture and to address changing trends in arts and cultural attendance and consumption.

Working Vision StatementCentral Oregon is a vital, recognized destination to create and experience a diversity of arts and culture. The Arts & Culture Alliance stimulates creative collaborations in sustaining a robust, thriving and visible cultural economy.

PurposeTo enhance the region’s arts and culture, we work with one voice to:1. Elevate community involvement and commitment,2. Attract financial support, and 3. Engage businesses and government as advocates.

Currently an alliance of twenty-seven non-profit and for-profit cultural organizations.

Arts Central

Arts Central, as the Regional Arts and Culture Council for Central Oregon, provides arts services to the communities, artists and arts organizations in Deschutes, Jefferson and Crook counties. Arts Central receives support from the Oregon Arts Commission for these services. Our purpose is to inspire creativity through arts education and to advocate for integration of the arts in all aspects of community life in Central Oregon. We accomplish our purpose through four distinct initiatives: advocacy, arts education, public art, and cultural trust. We are able to provide arts education to our community through programs like our education + resource center, Art Station, VanGo, and Artists in Schools residencies.

875 NW Brooks St., Bend OR 97701 Open: 11 am to 4 pm, Wed–Sat

Attendees bidding on live auction items at Arts Central’s Black and White fundraiser had their pick of Blazer tickets, original art, a trip to Costa Rica, an extreme makeover, cooking classes, and more. A sharply-dressed crowd enjoyed live music, delicious food, and perused more offerings for the silent auction. The event raised more than $103,000 for Arts Central’s art education programs.
