Testimonial
Having the opportunity to work with AFLCT has been truly beneficial; they've provided unique experiences that have positively impacted our students. Their professional artists are strong role-models who encouraged students to take risks, find their voices, and be confident young people. They assisted in the process of inspiring our students to discover their individual identities and be able to self-assuredly express and share their ideas and opinions.
Description
Program Options:
1. My Garden Grows: This lesson provides a natural link between observational skills exercised in both science and art. Students will merge their observations from life experience and artwork seen in The Tiny Seed by Eric Carle about plant phases from seed to adult. Students will create their own My Garden Grows composition using collage techniques.
2. Arcari Flora: Soils Color, Texture, and Winter Sleep In this lesson, students will grasp the significance of maintaining healthy soil and acquire skills to enhance it, and learn about soil-dwelling creatures, big and small, through the book, “Over and Under the Snow,” by Kate Messner. They will broaden their understanding of the environment and what animals need to live. To demonstrate their comprehension, students will produce a composition depicting distinct layers of soil and its texture through printmaking methods. Using collage techniques, students will select and create wildlife that lives beneath the snow.
3. Arcari Flora: Mason Bee Hotel Students will learn about the variety of bees and other pollinators through visual aids and by reading the book, "Bee" by Britta Teekentrup. They will then create a Mason Bee hotel using various materials, including a can, straw, cloth, ribbon, and string. Students will understand how Mason bees are beneficial to the environment and how to bring mason bees into their own neighborhood to help pollinate vegetables, fruit, and flowers. https://www.arcariflora.com/mason-bee-hotel
