RESIDENCIES
Art and Language Arts
Residencies that integrate language arts enhance students' comprehension of their world through visual literacy and artistic understanding. Programs include making sense of the world through narrative art, analyzing art and literature, artistsÕ portfolio ~ writersÕ notebook and collaborative art and writing.
Art and Social Studies
Students expand their understanding of the complexities of the world, learn about geography and gain a deeper appreciation of history and traditions through cultural artifacts. Programs focus on topics such as ancient civilizations, world art, the art of the Chicago landscape and art of AmericaÕs regions.
Art and Math
Math concepts become tangible as students apply their visual learning abilities to discover underlying mathematic concepts in art. Creating art in two and three dimensions, students gain a hands-on understanding of mathematic functions and discover how math is incorporated in the design and construction of drawings, paintings, sculptures and buildings. Residencies for upper grade students reinforce their knowledge of fractions, patterns, sequencing and measurement and deepen studentsÕ understanding of geometry. Participating teachers learn innovative, experiential strategies for teaching mathematics and increasing their studentsÕ understanding of mathematical concepts.
