Cleveland Center
Art, Music and Drama Program
Monday - Friday during school year
2:30PM - 6:30PM
Music Program
The music program’s aim is to have each child expand his or her repertoire of songs and appreciation of a variety of music. Children will build on the skills of unison singing. It will encourage ensemble, communication and teamwork among students. It will also increase children’s knowledge of other cultures, based on their music.
Art Program
The art program is based on the premise that all children are natural artists and also possess an artistic voice. The children will be encouraged to experiment with self-expression and to explore new materials, tools, and techniques. Children learn to think creatively, to use their “Right Brains”, and to take risks with ideas and materials. Mistakes become opportunities to try something different. All Children will make and keep a Silent Drawing Notebook. Students silently study, draw and develop their observational skills. The Silent Drawing Notebook will be used as a record of emerging observational skills and a personal resource for future work.
We offer a broad spectrum of two and three dimensional projects: Color mixing and painting, sculpture, self–portraiture, collage and mixed media. The children’s artwork will be distributed thru- out the center. Students will incorporate their art into special projects which will be used in design scenery & backdrops for theatrical performances.
Drama Program
The children will be taught the basics of script writing: The definition of Narrator, Introduction, scenes, acts etc. They will practice role play, memorize lines, and learn to place self in the context of others…. Walk in their shoes. Join with and respond to others in group dramatic activities
