ACTIVE LEARNING BELIEVE & INSPIRE (ALBI) A Published Compilation of Student's Visual Art and Poetry Based On Personal Community Heroes In Santa Ana. Program Design: The ALBI's summer 2019 program is designed to provide strategies and guidelines to increase the quantity and quality of Arts education. We offer safe, proper and unique activities for students ages 5-15. The separate components within the program provide essential goals to enlighten students about critical artistic appreciation. Through a range of creative classes, children learn to appreciate and explore, analyze and create visual art and poetry that have personal significance to future ambitions and goals. Throughout the j ourney, students learn to respect who they are now and imagine the person they will become. ALBI's program concentrates on efforts to ensure high-quality, personalized learning and instruction. Our research based, classroom practiced lessons, and structured schedules set our program apart from any other program. Within the core of the structure, students learn Arts standards intertwined with healthy messages for individuals, emotionally, physically and mentally. Our curriculum is divided into different classes based on the CA Arts Standards to ensure the appropriate developmental level for each grade is met and implemented through our structured classes. Students also achieve socialization skills by making friends and connecting with their teachers. By exploring analyzing and creating various poetry and visual works of art, students have something to look forward to as an emotional and creative outlet each day. Each hands-on learning class encompasses the development of English -Language skills as well as providing opportunities for children to explore, create and innovate their ideas through art. We make a significant impact on students within the 6 -week program in visual arts and poetry followed by vocal and performance art. By teaching meaningful lessons, our curriculum begins with the foundations and builds skills in visual arts and poetry then incorporates performing arts that are showcased at multiple culminating events throughout Santa Ana. Program Summary: Active Learning Believe and Inspire in partnership with the SAUSD will provide the opportunity for student's ages 6-15, to create visual art and poetry based on their own personal community superheroes. The varied pieces of artwork will be published and showcased throughout the city at several venues such as DTSA Art walk, culminating school performance, City Council Meetings, SAUSD Board Meetings, Santa Ana Public Libraries and local businesses. Students will spend a total of 6 weeks working with a teacher to develop visual art and poems. Each week they will be visited by various community heroes such as educators (teachers and principals) police officers, fire fighters, residents, community leaders and local artists within the city of Santa Ana. Students will then learn and create various pieces in written poetry and visual art to convey their personal heroes. At the end of the 6 weeks, the art and poetry pieces will be transformed into a published book and multiple copies will be displayed throughout Santa Ana. The winning poetry piece will be showcased through a song or spoken word and accompanied by a contemporary dance; while the winning art piece will become the cover of the book. Each student will receive their own copy. Details: The proposed component of poetry and visual art would be the role of ALBI's partnership with SAUSD. ALBI will provide a guest artist in residency at hoover Elementary to build in a creative writing and visual arts piece that will allow students to critically analyze and appreciate the arts on a much deeper level. ALBI will bring out Santa Ana community heroes to speak to students about their careers, goals and impact on our community. Various community heroes such as the principal, classroom teachers and local artists, will visit the students. Next the arts and poetry teacher will use the theme of the weekly community hero (i.e. safety, learning, artists, community, malting a difference, etc.) to guide a lesson plan in poetry and visual art that is aligned with the CA Arts Standards and developmentally appropriate for each student.
