I can demonstrate focus and concentration by using one or more of my 5 senses (sight, hearing, touch, taste and/or smell) to notice specific details when observing a person, place or thing. I can use appropriate grade-level vocabulary to vividly describe by speaking or writing what I see, hear, smell, touch and/or taste in a sensory experience. I can use sensory recall as inspiration to design a project in Visual Arts and to add vivid details to my work. |

The skills developed in Art-Sense not only offer a way of working on a variety of Visual Arts projects, but can also support translating the experiences into composing/arranging Music/Sound, creating Dance/Movement sequences, or bringing added reality to Drama scenes. Students can also write related poetry, essays or descriptive narratives. Though the database format does not provide space for including Arts standards for each discipline, appropriate ones can be selected. If a larger grade-level collaboration is desired, the Teaching Artist can help design the project to also be supported by the Classroom Teacher(s) in conjunction with the Visual Arts, Music, Dance or Theatre Specialist. The Teaching Artist Can also include character development exercises, if the selected project focuses on portraits. At least one of the activities is best done outdoors, weather permitting. *All ACTive Learning Through Drama programs have been developed and implemented by a professional Theatre Educator in collaboration with classroom Teachers and Arts Specialists |
