Schedule

8:45 am: Sign-in and receive curriculum notebook 9:00 – 10:00 am: Opening Session with Beverly Harding Buehler, Director of Arts Impact (Simon’s Boardroom) 10:00 - 10:15 am: Break/Site Movement 10:15 – 12:30 pm: Visual Arts with Mylen Huggins, Artist Mentor (Nordstrom Art Studio) 3D Form and Texture Participants develop communication skills through analyzing art. Participants create textures using additive, subtractive, and impressing clay techniques. Next, draw and cut out a two-dimensional template for a fish, then use the stencil to cut out a clay fish from a slab. Surface textures are added on both sides, and then the fish is formed into a balanced three-dimensional sculpture. After bisque firing, fish can be glazed. Last, participants write an artist statement about their fish sculpture.

12:30 – 1:30 pm: Lunch 1:30 – 4:00 pm: Dance with Gary Reed and Jo Petroff, Artist Mentors (Simon’s Boardroom) Shape In this dance lesson, participants explore using their heads, spines, arms, and legs to freeze in a shape. They make puzzle shapes with a small group. Using their whole bodies, they make movements that travel. Participants create a dance beginning in a puzzle shape, traveling away from and back to their group and ending in a puzzle shape.

Monday, August 8, 2016 (continued) Space: Levels Participants explore moving on low, medium, and high levels. Using different levels, participants mirror with a partner, taking turns as leader and followers. Space: Self and General Participants explore moving in one spot (self-space) and traveling through the room (general space). While moving in both self-space and general space, they practice leading and shadowing with a partner.

9:00 – 10:00 am: Concept Based Education and Lesson Plan Design with Beverly Harding Buehler, Director of Arts Impact, (Simon’s Boardroom) 10:00 – 10:15 am: Break/Site Movement 10:15 – 12:30 pm: Visual Arts with Mylen Huggins, Artist Mentor, (Nordstrom Art Studio) Descriptive Line Participants associate descriptive language with qualities and types of line seen in art. Objects are observed and drawn three different times using descriptive interior and exterior contour lines. Different qualities of line are created in each drawing through use of different drawing tools, types of lines, tool pressure, and perseverance. Last, participants use adjectives to describe line in their drawing studies. Study in Line Direction Participants collaboratively analyze how line can communicate a sense of chaos or harmony in artistic compositions. Practice drawing studies are then created: one using a variety of line direction, type, and spacing to express chaos, and one repeating line direction, type, and spacing to express harmony. Participants create a final composition (white on black) communicating calm or chaos. Last, participants collaboratively organize and present compositions in continuum from calm to chaos.

Tuesday, August 9, 2016 (continued) 12:30 – 1:30 pm: Lunch 1:30 – 4:00 pm: Theater with Rachel Atkins, Artist Mentor, (Simon’s Boardroom) Creating Tableau Participants collaborate in groups to create frozen stage pictures that are called “tableaux.” Using the “Elements of Tableau Checklist,” participants work together in statues to express specific shapes, ideas, or dramatic scenes. Expressive Body Participants are introduced to the fundamental tools an actor uses to create a character. Participants start out by understanding the concept of “neutral” (moving without any characterizations). Participants then make physical choices with their bodies and faces to create statues of a given character or feeling. Finally, they apply exaggeration to their statues to enlarge their physical choices and communicate those choices to an audience.

9:00 – 10:00 am: Cultural Partners present 2016-17 museum tours, student matinees and traveling shows (Seattle Art Museum, Seattle Children’s Theatre, Pacific Northwest Ballet, Meany Center for the Performing Arts, Living Voices, Book-It Repertory Theatre) (Simon’s Boardroom) 10:00 – 10:15 am: Break/Site Movement 10:15 – 12:15 pm: Theater with Rachel Atkins, Artist Mentor (Simon’s Boardroom) Expressive Voice Participants explore the methods by which actors use their voices in the theater. Through humming they learn about how their diaphragm is an important part of a projected voice. They will speak a line of dialogue with articulation, vocal expression, and different vocal qualities. They will use the 21st Century Skill of perseverance to work through any challenges of speaking in front of a group.

Wednesday, August 10, 2016 (continued) Blending Body and Voice Participants will learn how to combine both body and voice into a complete expression of a word or idea. By using both vocal and physical exaggeration, students will explore how to expand and build on their own creative choices to communicate the meaning of a word. They will think creatively to blend their bodies and voices to present a poem. 12:15 – 1:15 pm: Lunch/Site Movement 1:15 – 2:00 pm: Seattle Art Museum Gallery Tour with Brooke Hutchison, Seattle Art Museum’s Museum Educator and Beverly Harding Buehler, Arts Impact (meet near Arts Impact registration tables) 2:00 – 2:15 pm: Break/Site Movement 2:15 – 4:00 pm: Visual Arts with Mylen Huggins, Artist Mentor (Simon’s Boardroom) Color Mixing and Relationships Participants study color mixing through creating a 6-section color wheel composed of primary and secondary colors (a second color wheel will have 12 sections and include tertiary colors). Next, warm and cool colors relationships in art are analyzed using critical thinking skills. Participants then create a nonrepresentational watercolor painting that combines warm and cool color for emphasis or contrast.

9:00 – 11:30 am: Visual Arts with Mylen Huggins, Artist Mentor (Nordstrom Art Studio) Depth Through Overlapping Shapes Participants identify attributes of organic shapes and describe how depth in space is suggested through overlapping in art. Participants apply creative thinking skills as they draw, cut out, overlap, and trace organic shapes to create an open composition. The foreground and background shapes in the composition are filled with oil pastel color and a final paint wash is added for resist effect.

They learn and clap a pattern with a steady beat, practicing to increase their speed while maintaining accuracy. Finally, they do a dance exploration showing how different underwater plants or animals could move with different speeds. Space: Directions Participants explore the dance concept of directions by moving up and down, side to side, and forward and back. They choreograph a sequence that begins in a shape, followed by movements in three different directions, and ends in a shape. 2:45 – 3:00 pm: Break/Site Movement 3:00 – 4:00 pm: Bailadores de Bronce, Mexican Folkloric Dance Performance and Q&A with Gary Reed and Jo Petroff (Plestcheeff Auditorium)
