Art Bento Program @ HiSAM
|
The
Hawai‘i
State Foundation on Culture and
the Arts is proud to
announce the SY2013-14 Art
Bento Program @ HiSAM, a
museum education program. This
four-part standards-based program
is multi-disciplinary and serves
Oahu Department of Education
elementary students and their
teachers. This unique educational
opportunity emphasizes arts and
verbal literacy. There is no cost
to schools to participate in the
program and funds for bus
transportation are also provided.
The Hawai'i
State Museum (HiSAM) is
used as a learning laboratory for
students in grades 2 - 6 in public
and charter schools.
The program theme is "Responding
to Art." Works of art on display
in the museum galleries are used
as a catalyst for inquiry-based
student learning in literacy,
visual and performing arts. These
artworks are part of the HSFCA's Art in Public Places
Collection.
Program activities begin in the
classroom with a professional
development session for teachers.
A teaching artist from the HSFCA's
Artistic
Teaching Partners (ATP)
Roster leads the session. Using
reproductions, the ATP models
techniques and strategies to
elicit student responses to
artworks currently on view in the
museum. The learning experience
continues with a pre-visit to the
classroom with the ATP again
facilitating a question and
response conversation with
students and beginning a
standards-based lesson.
Next is the museum visit, during
which students participate in an
inquiry-based guided tour in the HiSAM galleries
and experience viewing original
artworks. They also engage in an
arts lesson with their Teaching
Artist, and explore art concepts
through hands-on activities in the
"I Love Art Gallery".
Art Bento culminates in a
post-visit lesson in the
classroom. Students reflect on the
museum experience, review concepts
and vocabulary, exhibit or perform
products created, and reflect on
the artwork they have made.
Art Bento is a compact and
cohesive educational experience
linking classroom learning with
the museum and the wider world.
Each segment reinforces the last,
and together they help students
and teachers to realize a sense of
connection and essential
understandings through the arts.
Applications for participation in
this program go out in the spring
to all principals of public and
charter schools on O'ahu. If you
have questions, please call HiSAM
Educator Susan Hogan at 586-9958,
