Carly: Art Start Life winter Curriculum 2013
Please ask for more information on Professional development in which I have lead.
Through partnerships with numerous city-run and non-profit shelters, Art Start conducts creative arts workshops five days a week with homeless youth ages 5-18. From bucket drumming, building a 20- foot Chinese dragon, writing a song, choreographing a dance, painting a self-portrait or playing in a band, Art Start recognizes the obstacles keeping these youth from seeking out extracurricular outlets for their creative energy. Art Start brings our youth a unique formula that’s fluid and adaptive, yet focused and consistent.
Workshops are led by Art Start staff and a team of committed volunteers and focus on building trusting relationships with the youth. Art Start creates a safe and creative space inside the workshops while connecting them to new experiences outside the shelter.
The Programming Intern for ART START will take part in all Homeless Youth Outreach Programming at ART START, on-site, in partnering homeless shelters.
In collaboration with ART START staff teaching artists, interns’ duties will include:
– Project Planning
– Workshop Planning
– Supply organization and procurement
– Assistant teaching arts-based workshops
– Weekly workshop assessment
– Small, focused fundraising objectives for respective workshops
