American Indian Cultures

Field Trip ; In-School Workshop/Class ; Private Group Instruction

Before the first European settlers arrived in the “New World,” American Indians dominated the North American landscape. Handling authentic artifacts from these ancient civilizations, students will examine different cultural elements and communicate how those elements influenced American Indian society. Through this program, students develop a greater understanding and appreciation of America Indians, whose way of life in the Ohio River Valley greatly differed from their own.

American Indian Design

Field Trip ; In-School Workshop/Class ; Private Group Instruction

Your students will delve into American Indian culture through the investigation of American Indian artifacts. Together they will examine primitive ceremonial and decorative art pieces created by the Plains Indians, including woven items, moccasins and beadwork. Using these handcrafted items, students will study the elements of art and principles of design common in these American Indian art forms. In addition, students may participate in an optional “Winter Count” activity where they create “story hides,” journaling their life’s important moments just as American Indians did long ago.

The students also visit an artist’s studio, such as a painter’s atelier, glassworks or printing press. Each class visits the Taft Museum of Art. Students are expected to complete a research project on an object from the Museum’s collection, describing its history and significance, and explaining why the artwork has personal appeal. Each classroom receives a set of Museum catalogues. Students are asked to make artworks in response to the ARC experience and write artists’ statements demonstrating what they have learned.

Community Workshop/Class ; In-School Residency ; In-School Workshop/Class ; Private Group Instruction ; Summer Camps

Combine arts and humanities with core content in an exciting dance workshop that will inspire students to take an active role in their own learning while engaging in aligned, standards-based activities. Perfect for the kinesthetic learner, this workshop helps to put ideas in the body and; therefore, cement them in the mind.This program is arts integration at its best and can be aligned and tailored to any grade level and content.Workshops offer students the opportunity to experience grade-appropriate curriculum in a fun, kinesthetic, and engaging way. Workshops will promote: Critical thinking skills Physical fitness Self-confidence Collaborative activities Creative expression Deep absorption of content Core Creativity familiarizes students with key dance elements while igniting their imagination, and interacting through activities involving critical thinking and movement.This workshop is designed to reinforce learning and reflect upon student knowledge. Examples: Students could physically experience what it might feel like to become the water cycle and see what evaporation, condensation, precipitation, transpiration, infiltration, and collection might look like if it were a dance. Once students feel these movements in their own bodies, they may better understand how the water cycle works and remember this information for years to come. Students may learn to count by 5s and 10s while learning about tap rhythms, beat, syncopation, and syllables. NOTE: CORE CREATIVITY REQUIRES COMMUNIC ATION FROM ABOUT WHICH CURRICULUM THE TEACHER WOULD LIKE TO INTEGRATE PRIOR TO THE STUDENT WORKSHOP.
