SCOPE OF WORK: <br />1. Details of Youth Program/Services to be provided: <br />In partnership with the City of Santa Ana, Parks, Recreation and Community Services agency, <br />OCCTAC proposes to offer an Arts & Violence prevention program for Santa Ana youth at four <br />Recreational Centers located within the Qualified Service Tract areas in the city of Santa Ana, <br />including: Jerome Center, Garfield Recreation Center, Roosevelt -Walker Center and Salgado <br />Recreation Center. <br />This program will prioritize on diverting youth from negative social problems and engaging <br />them in positive, fun, creative and artistic programs that will inspire and motive youth to reach <br />higher educational goals and fulfill their highest potential in life. All the youth and families that <br />enroll in our Arts & Violence prevention program will have the opportunity to take as many Arts <br />enrichment classes of their choice in the various disciplines: a) Music, b) Visual Arts, c) Dance, <br />and/or d) Media Arts, during after -school hours (M-F), and on Saturdays. <br />OCCTAC Arts & Violence Prevention program will serve youth in two different age groups: <br />7yrs-11 yrs and 12yrs-1 Syrs old. The intent is for this program to empower youth to explore and <br />participate in different art forms that are not readily available in their neighborhoods and provide <br />the support our families need to recover during these challenging times. Furthermore, these <br />programs will encourage the participants to use the creative process as a form of self-expression <br />and introspective practices to foster social emotional development, cultural diversity and pride. <br />The following classes represent a few examples of the wide variety of Arts Enrichment activities <br />that OCCTAC teachers can provide at the various Recreational/Community Centers: <br />Music Classes - <br />• Intro to Guitar - Youth will learn basic guitar chords, basic guitar technique, proper <br />posture and learn to play simple melodies and songs in a group ensemble. <br />• Intro to Violin - Youth will learn the proper way of holding the instrument, the parts of <br />the violin, the bow and the string names; and how to play simple melodies, as well as <br />study the basic theory music concepts, including rhythm, reading notes and music <br />terminology. <br />Visual Arts (Painting & Drawing, Mixed Media) <br />• Drawing and Painting- Youth will learn the basics of painting and drawing; and how to <br />use different techniques to apply a range of mediums as part of their exercises. Students <br />will learn how to use mixed medium techniques with Iesson plans focused on <br />introspective creative processes that prompt the students to think about themselves, their <br />family and their role as an active member of their community. This program will <br />culminate each cycle with an art exhibition at the recreational center. <br />Media & Digital Arts (Some examples include Comic Book Creation, Animation, Video. <br />Technology) <br />20 <br />
