THEATER There is a place for everyone’s talents in theater. Whether your child wants to act, design sets or costumes, everyone’s unique skills will be used to create an ensemble, in which we work collaboratively to put on the show! Students will be introduced to basic theatre concepts, instructed in healthy vocal projection techniques, be able to move onstage, work as a team to write a class play, design costumes, sets, and puppets, and perform onstage. Our goals are to build community and cooperation, as well as self esteem, through performing arts. VISUAL ARTS Ms. Wattles sees the arts as a language that is accessible to the very youngest learners. All children are inherent artists. Using the elements of art: line, texture, shape, color, scale, value we create art by working in the many ways that artists work. We do observational drawing, draw from our imaginations, we explore materials including different types of paint, printmaking, sculpture,, we work in a hands on process oriented spirit allowing for individual expression. I am integrating the IB units into my curriculum and we have a beautiful art room with natural light and a sink! ___________________________ JOSIAH QUINCY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL 885 Washington Street Boston, MA 02111 617-635-8497 http://www.jqselementary.org |
