2013-2014 Arts Program Grant— Spring
Orange County Arts Commission Application Narrative- Arts in Education
Organizational;Proflrw-HWtory,and ii is
The ArtsCenter began as one painting class in a walk up studio on East Main Street in Carrboro
in 1974. From that modest first step and the extraordinary creative vitality of Carrboro, an
amazing community educational organization using the arts began. During 2013 The
ArtsCenter served 93,000 people, one third under the age of 18. Our work created a local
economic impact estimated at $3,488,830, generating 111 full time jobs and $328,000 in state
and local tax revenue.
Our core services are The ArtSchool (serving 15 year olds through retirees) and our youth
programs (serving pre-K through 15 year olds though Afterschool Arts Immersion, Arts-In
Education, ArtsCamp, School Shows, and Youth Art Blocks). Additionally we serve audiences
via theater performances, live concerts, and gallery exhibits. Many of these activities are
implemented together with other community organizations, area businesses, area schools, and
local governmental agencies and departments
Mission: The ArtsCenter exists in order to inspire creativity and to enrich the lives of people of
all ages.
Current Programs and Services
The ArtsCenter is organized into five programs:
ArtSchool. ArtSchool at The ArtsCenter is Orange County's most comprehensive non-profit
resource for continuing education in the arts on a non-degree, community basis. The ArtSchool
now offers more than 500 classes in all artistic disciplines for all experience levels and ages,
awards more than 50 scholarships annually, and offers work-study opportunities.
Youth Programs. The ArtsCenter has provided artistically excellent, age-appropriate and
accessible arts experiences to Triangle families for more than 30 years. Currently, The
ArtsCenter offers the 90-event School Show Series, the SuperFun Series for family audiences,
ArtsCamp in the summer, AfterSchool Arts Immersion and Arts In Education during the school
day to area youth and families. Youth Arts Blocks (YAB) includes fine art classes for youth and
workshops and camps year round in acting, drawing, painting, writing, photography, ceramics,
dance, acting for the camera, improvisation and more
Gallery. The Nicholson Gallery features the work of local and regional artists on a rotating
basis. The Gallery exhibitions highlight the work of more than 100 local and regional artists in 12
exhibitions a year.
Theatre. International theatre at its most local, ArtsCenter Stage showcases the work of
emerging and established artists hailing from next door to around the world. ArtsCenter Stage
features new works with an historical perspective, while its second-stage series includes
improvisation and storytelling, musicals and operas; stand-up comedy and film screenings, new
works in development and theatre for younger and older audiences. ArtsCenter Stage is
community-oriented theatre with a commitment to developing new artists and audiences.
Page 2 of 3
Concerts. The ArtsCenter presents approximately 60 concerts for adults each year.
representing the spectrum of musical genres by touring artists including folk, blues, Celtic, rock.
singer-songwriter, old-time, and bluegrass.
In the 2014-2015 school year, The ArtsCenter will again partner with Orange County Schools to
offer curriculum-integrated art residencies (correlated directly with the North Carolina Comirnon
Core and Essential Standards curriculum) to all grade levels in all three Title 1 elementary
schools in the district plus the alternative high school, serving more than 1,400 undersewed
children in the county. This partnership is part of The ArtsCenter's focus school program, which
takes place over the course of several years and ultimately helps incorporate arts integration
into a school environment as a whole. This structure ultimately ensures the sustainability of
using the arts to teach curriculum over the long term. The ArtsCenter implemented this as a pilot
program at Central Elementary, in Hillsborough, for five years. Due to the success of the
program there, Orange County Schools requested the program expand to serve all four Title I
schools in Orange County beginning in the 2013-2014 school year- Central Elementary, IVew
Hope Elementary, Efland-Cheeks Elementary, and Partnership Academy High School.
The following is a demographic breakdown of the four participating Title 1 schools:

Academy
Central Elementary is located in Hillsborough, and approximately 70% of students receive
free/reduced lunch. New Hope Elementary, also located in Hillsborough, has 58% free/reduced
lunch and the highest English Language Learner population in the district. Efland-Cheeks
Elementary, located in Efland, has 59% free/reduced lunch and one of the largess: Exceptional
Children (EC)-identified populations in Orange County and the second smallest identified gifted
population. Students attending all three schools live in Hillsborough or Efland. The alternative
high school, Partnership Academy in Hillsborough, is the smallest school in the Orange Co
system. but 82% of the students qualify for the free/reduced lunch program.
In the 2014-2015 school year, The ArtsCenter will implement at least 18 Arts-Based Learning
Experience (ABLE) residencies in pre-kindergarten through fifth grades (including, but not
limited to, residencies with a visual arts, drama/theater, dance, or music focus) at Central
Elementary, New Hope Elementary and Efland-Cheeks Elementary, plus a residency for
Partnership Academy. An Arts-Based Learning Experience residency is a five-day residency
Page 3 of 3
designed to help prepare students to see a School Show at The ArtsCenter (art form and
content), while simultaneously teaching curriculum through the arts. All School Shows connect
to specific elements of the curriculum, and an ABLE residency allows students to study this
related curriculum with professional teaching artists in their classrooms. During residencies,
students are given opportunities to look at ideas from different angles, and they often times
grasp concepts they have not previously understood. This builds students' self confidence,
allows them to analyze and understand their personal learning styles, and fosters academic
growth. In addition, students who have limited opportunities to experience the arts are able to
work closely with professional teaching artists in their classrooms and see a live show at a local
theater, which offers them new avenues to explore creativity and diversity. For example, it was
powerful to see the 5th graders at Efland Cheeks with their written personal journals, then
perform a scene (singing and dancing) from the "Junie B Jones" production. The focus was on
improving the students' literacy skills by journaling and reading several "Junie B. Moon" books.
Family involvement is also an integral part of our Arts In Education program because this allows
for deeper discussions and learning to take place outside of school. As a result, family nights
and/or family sharings are planned in accordance with residencies whenever possible. In
addition, many district-wide events, such as Orange County Schools' Cultural Explosion, often
times feature students, classes and schools who showcase their work from residencies for their
families and other families in the district.
Residencies that will take place in the 2014-2015 school year at each focus school will be
planned at the beginning of the year. Each grade level at each elementary school will choose a
School Show to see at The ArtsCenter during the year. The ArtsCenter's Arts In Education
Coordinator will then work closely with each grade level team to plan their respective
residencies (both art form and content). Prior to the start of the residencies, classroom teachers
from that particular grade level, the teaching artist and The ArtsCenter's Arts In Education
Coordinator will meet for a planning session to review goals and discuss residency logistics.
Following the residency, they will all meet again for an evaluation meeting, where participants
can talk candidly about their experiences and discuss key strengths and weaknesses of the
residency. In addition to this evaluation tool, several other strategies will be put in place to
ensure all aspects of the residency are carefully analyzed and assessed. Following the
conclusion of all residencies. The ArtsCenter will distribute student and teacher evaluations to
assess the effectiveness of the experience, as well as communicate regularly with teachers and
administrators during and following residencies to guide further sessions and determine the
effectiveness of the program. Additionally, curriculum assessments are administered following
all residencies to measure academic growth on the material covered during residencies. The
assessments are created with collaboration from classroom teachers, teaching artists and The
ArtsCenter's Arts In Education Coordinator.
The ArtsCenter has successfully implemented 66 residencies in area schools over the last
several years through the Arts In Education program, 52 of which have been ABLE residencies.
Furthermore, as mentioned above, The ArtsCenter carried out the focus school program at
Central Elementary as a five years pilot; success with the pilot led to our current AIE expansion
to serve all Orange County Title 1 schools beginning in FY2013-14.
Funding in the amount of $1500 from the Orange County Arts Commission will specifically go
towards teaching artists fees associated with 18 ABLE residencies at all four Title 1 schools in
Orange County — Central Elementary, New Hope Elementary, Efland-Cheeks Elementary, and
Partnership Academy— in the 2014-2015 school year.

home studio.
Art, in some form or another, has always been a par`of my life. As
for back as I can remember, 1 loved to draw. My grandmother was
h especially encouraging of our drawing talent, supplying each of
her grandkids at an early age with our very own sketchbooks For us
to draw in when we came to stay for summer visits. !can still recall
those soft-cover books with their protective tissue paper sheets bound between the sketch paper pages;
they made our artwork feel important. My earliest memories were my drawings of pipe-smoking gnomes
and their toadstool homes complete with tiny doorways and stovepipe chimneys, a popular, albeit
peculiar, subject for many little girls my age growing up in Holland.

Always Inspiring.
December 2013
Dear Families:
In collaboration with The ArtsCenter, our class will be participating in a dance
residency that will connect to our study of Native American history within the third
grade social studies curriculum. The residency will be focused around a show we
saw at The ArtsCenter on November 21 — Native American Stories. During the
show, we will learned about traditional Cherokee legends that taught us about a
culture whose history and presence is deeply woven into the cultural fabric of our
own state. In addition to Cherokee stories, we heard modern tales from a variety
of Native American tribes, emphasizing the significance and presence of the art
of storytelling in contemporary times.
A teaching artist came into our classroom today for the first session and will
come in again on December 5, 9, 11 and 16. During the residency, students will
learn about how Native American dance and storytelling are so closely linked.
They will have a chance to create dances that embody animals and aspects of
daily life, just as the Native American tribes did. In addition, students will learn a
variety of dances representative of many cultures, such as the Appalachian
square dance, African dance and Mexican folk dance. At the end of the
residency, students will connect their local culture of storytelling through dance
with cultures around the world.
To support your child in this creative journey, please ask your child about his/her
experiences each day of the residency_
This residency is funded, in part, through grants from the Grable Foundation,
Nicholson Foundation, North Carolina Arts Council, Orange County Human
Services, and the Orange COUnty Arts Commission.
Thank you in advance for your support!
Sincerely,
May 24, 2013
To Whom It May Concern:
I am a third grade teacher at a high poverty school in Orange County, North Carolina—Central
Elementary. For the past five years we have had the privilege of working with the Art Center to provide
high quality art residency programs for our students.
I'd like to tell you what amazing benefits this program has provided.
My students do not have opportunities like many other children. They do not visit museums or go to
camps,they do not go to plays, zoos or puppet shows. The ArtsCenter has given them an experienC
like no other.
The artists arrive and immediately pull the children into their world. The kids become artists. We have
made puppets, masks, three-dimensional suns, murals, totem poles, and so much more. The artists
teach art, culture, and social studies all at once. They provide the materials and the techniques, but
even more,they are models.
I have seen children who can't read on grade level, come from impoverished homes, and have discipl ne
issues flourish in the residency program. They find some kind of connection to the art that helps them
realize they have gifts as yet untapped. They help each other; they applaud each other's work,they
proudly display it for school and families.
On top of the residency program, we have been able to attend programs at The ArtsCenter, for free,
with performers who are tied to the art our students studied. We saw puppeteers when we made
puppets; we heard Native American tales when we made masks and totem poles, we watched Hispania
dancers when we made Mexican folk art sun symbols. The students were able to talk to performers,
work on crafts with our artists and view displays on our field trips.
I know we have been so, so lucky to have had this opportunity for so long. I realize other kids need to
share this chance to work with such fine artists. However, if at all possible, I would hope that our
students,with such great needs, would continue to get this opportunity in the future....
Thank you for the opportunity to be part of this vital, community outreach. It matters.
Most sincerely,
(Name withheld for this grant, but available on request)

from the principal on Monday, September 9.
4) You will be notified in mid to late September to confirm the School Show you
will attend. (The ArtsCenter's School & Family Performances Coordinator will
follow up with you with field trip details as the date approaches.)
5) Planning meeting will take place with classroom teachers (as a grade level) and the
assigned teaching artist (approximately one month prior to the start of the residency).
6) Residency will unfold over five days (not necessarily consecutive). The teaching
artist will spend one hour in each classroom per day.
7) Evaluation meeting will take place with classroom teachers (as a grade level) and
the assigned teaching artist.
8) Classroom teachers will administer student evaluations of residency and
complete teacher evaluations (provided by The ArtsCenter). Classroom teachers

Examples of Past Residencies:
Kindergarten Residency
Kindergarten students studied the book Rainbow Fish, by Marcus Pfister, through the art of
mosaic. In addition to the natural literacy connection, students studied patterns by linking the f i`Ii
scale patterns from the book to mosaic patterns on a grid. In addition to creating individual
mosaics, each class also made a group mosaic based off of Rainbow Fish that is displayed at 111L
school. The residency tied into the show Rainbow Fish, presented by ArtsPower, that student
saw at The ArtsCenter.
First Grade Residency
First grade classes participated in a musical theater residency that connected with the show
Rainbow Fish, presented by ArtsPower, which students saw at The ArtsCenter. The residence
linked to the science curriculum (ocean habitats, plants/animals, etc.), as well as the literacy
curriculum (re-telling, recalling main characters and supporting details and comparing and
contrasting).
Second Grade Residency
Second grade students learned about the history of African culture through music, which also
connected to their unit on sound in the second grade science curriculum. The residency linked t
the School Show dabali African Acrobats that students saw at The ArtsCenter.As an extension 1,)
the residency, the art teacher worked with students to make a variety of instruments, which'" n.
displayed at Orange County Schools' Cultural Explosion event. Furthermore, all second gradr
classes performed an African dance at the event that stemmed from the residency.
Third Grade Residency
Third graders participated in a visual art residency that placed special emphasis on the study ()I
Mexican culture, which linked to the third grade social studies curriculum. Students used paps
mache to sculpt Mexican suns, and then painted the suns using designs and colors represents t i�
of the culture. Simultaneously, students read and studied several Mexican folktales as part of a
larger literacy unit on myths and legends. The residency connected with the School Show Build
Folklorico Mexico that students saw at The ArtsCenter. The students' complete projects were
displayed at Orange County Schools' Cultural Explosion.
Fifth Grade Residency
Fifth grade students studied the Civil Rights Movement through drama and creative movement.
which also prepared them to see Tired Souls, by Mike Wiley, at The ArtsCenter. In addition t()
engaging in several acting/theater activities, students rapped and acted out a hip hop poem— "( w
to the Back Rosa Parks"—that they performed for Mike Wiley after seeing him perform Tire,i
Souls at The ArtsCenter.
Solar System Integrated Arts Lesson Plan
Musical Theatre
Central Elementary School
L Teacher-Led Movement
Mirror movements.
Teach hardest combinations first.
Use counts of 4/8 as a math tool (adding counts, multiplying sets, etc).
Once learned, demonstrate movements with the accompanying music.
Repeat several times for muscle memory to take over.
II. Atoms in Space
Have students float around as if an atom floating through space.
Use technique to teach gravity, weightlessness, etc.
Have students form "molecules" in various numbered groups.
Those left without a molecule can be re-directed to pre-set stations around room
involving space/solar systems lessons.
Use exercise as a way of working together.
Use exercise as a way of dividing into smaller groups.
III. Body-Led Movement
Have small groups stand in a circle.
Let first person create a movement and then the group imitates it.
Go to the second person and learn a second movement.
Go back to the first person and repeat the patter until all students have had a turn.
Relate this to memorizing poetry, math facts, etc.
Let children try their choreography to music and see if it "fits".
IV. Student-Led Movement
Freeze-Dance.
Have students free dance to music.
When music stops, have all students freeze like statues.
Give specific directions, linked to the lesson, on how to move.
(literal choreography: e.g. if you want to show that mercury is hot, have students
do movements that indicate they, or what they are touching, is hot.)
Continue until all concepts have been explored.
Then, have students get in small groups and create their own literal choreography
based on the content of the song or lesson.
Try it with music.
V.Show time
Have students link all of the different sections together in a cohesive,
choreographed piece that demonstrates the lesson.
Repeat, polish and embellish.
Other integrations:
ART: Have an Art Teacher work with the students on creating models of the planets and
stars to use in the number.
MUSIC: Have a Music Teacher work with the students on learning the lyrics and vocal
techniques so they can sing while they dance.
