Project Title: Free and reduced-cost art classes and summer art camps for children and youth
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
City Center Art (CCA) is SOE\u2019s sliding-scale art education program for youth in grades 2-12 and is a vital resource for cultural education in a region where many do not have access to art opportunities. Most of the students in SOE\u2019s CCA afterschool program are recruited from under-resourced neighborhoods throughout Jefferson County. CCA summer camps serve students from diverse neighborhoods in the Birmingham\/Hoover metro area, and summer camps are continuously filled and have waitlists; further demonstrating the need for quality, innovative arts education programs for youth, regardless of family income.<\/p>\n
SOE\u2019s Artist Residency program serves Title I schools in Birmingham that are without art teachers and where many children have never had access to an art class or art supplies. The availability of art classes in school increases learning across the curriculum, aids in the creation of a positive environment, and increases student attendance. <\/p>\n
According to the Alabama Department of Education, less than 30% of Alabama public schools currently offer art classes. Issues of access and equity have had a particular impact on the availability of art programs. Yet for at-risk children especially, the arts allow students to safely express themselves in ways that are not possible through academics. Involvement in the arts can support the social and emotional learning needs of students and provide an outlet for students to build resiliency.<\/p>\n
Additionally, with an increased focus on test scores, teaching in many classrooms has shifted from meaningful learning to rote learning. At SOE, teaching artists develop fun, open-ended, divergent art lessons to expand cognitive abilities and higher-order thinking skills. This type of relational learning creates connections with previous knowledge from other academic subjects. SOE teaching artists balance instruction between creating and responding–where making, discussing, and writing about their work can be a transformative learning experience for students.<\/p>\n
