My Project

The scholars come form diverse cultural and economic backgrounds (African, Middle Eastern, Indian, and Latina, Caribbean) The arts are universal and help bridge the language gap for English language learners.

Teaching history through engaging in hands-on art activities connected to culture being studied helps scholars retain what they have learned.

Scholars will be learning about both ancient and contemporary civilizations around the world. They will create artwork similar to the art from the civilization they are studying. Their projects and activities will be presented to the class and the school community. The materials and resources provided will allow scholars to demonstrate their academic understanding in a creative form. Most of the scholars in the class are students with learning disabilities and some English language learners, so it is important to offer various platforms for students to show their understanding. These supplies will enable the art class to enhance learning in the academic classroom. The use of these materials in the academic classroom provides a break in instructions giving teachers and opportunity to assess what has been taught using creativity and presentation opportunities.
