Fine Arts Frenzy

Fine Arts Frenzy started out in the summer of 2011 as a collaborative effort between Adrian Schools and Boys and Girls Club of Lenawee.  Our first year involved integrating arts and science while working with students in 5^th-8^th grade as they chose a focus area in art, reader’s theater, or choir.  Our theme was space.  The kids worked hard to get ready for a culminating performance for parents and friends.

Students involved in art created props for the stage.  They also had the opportunity to create space art using spray paint.  They turned out really well.  We had them on display in the gallery the day of the performance.   I’ve included a short slideshow to highlight their work.

This year, Fine Arts Frenzy Does Math will take place during the first part of August.  Once again, we are collaborating with the Boys and Girls Club and will have a performance at the end of our time together.  We have two weeks to explore math through the arts!  Participating students grades 3-8 will be involved in learning math through the arts (visual, music, and dance).  One focus will be fractions, so I’ve been busy looking for and putting together art that involves practice with fractions.  I hope to post examples later.
