CNY Grants for Arts in Education - art$TART

art$TART FALL 2002 Program Funding Summary 

Cazenovia Middle School
Cazenovia CSD
7th Grade & Tammy Goldacker, muralist 
158 7th grade students will use visual art elements (perspective, values, focus) to explore themes of global heritage of the US, colonial/native heritage of CNY, and forces that motivated change (canals, abolition, revolution). Music/movement and a culminating mural will be used to develop symbolic meaning across curricula.
Fayetteville Elementary
Fayetteville-Manlius CSD
1st grade & Denny Giantomasi, pop musician 
100 1st grade students will combine knowledge about US Presidents whose faces they see daily on US coins with organizational strategies inherent to math and music. They will explore rhythms and sequences in music that parallel patterning and numerical order in math. They will brainstorm and collaborate with the musician to create a song that can educate others.
Indian River HS/MS
Indian River CSD
7-12th grade & Trillium String Quartet
60 middle and high school music students will research the elements of Baroque, Classical, and Romantic styles of music. They will develop a process of info-gathering, application, rehearsal, and performance with professional classical musicians as mentors. Students will discover the impact of English language arts and visual art from those historic eras on the music.

South Jefferson Central
South Jefferson CSD

 7/8th grade & Amy Rohde, mosaic artist 
50 middle school students will apply research about local history, identify actions that form excellent collaborations, and develop a source for positive self-concept through creation of a community mural and through video documentation of the process. The work of transforming an idea into tangible form and of reflecting back on the process will rely on the visual/physical characteristics of mosaic (many parts to a whole).
Nate Perry Elementary Liverpool CSD                      
6th grade students and Ginger Dietz, mosaic artist 
48 6th grade students will build on their experience and knowledge of visual art and community building from a residency in their fifth grade year. This year they will explore conflict, tolerance, and diversity through new methods in manipulating clay. As a response to world/local violence, students will learn about elements in visual art that are harmonious/opposing and themes in social studies that can be symbolized.
