Arts Alive!
Students and their family members traveled on the timeline experiencing art and music throughout mankind. Throughout the year, each grade level has been learning the history of a certain time period or style of art and music on the timeline. Throughout the building in different rooms, you could touch, feel, listen, create, and.or experience these different styles.  In the kindergarten prehistoric times room you could paint and draw on leather and play 'boomwhackers".  In 1st Grade rooms you could make mosaic art with sticky foam or play an autoharp drawing on leatherpretending you were in an an ancient culture. 2nd Graders studied the Renaissance.  At Arts Alive you could draw under the table or sculpt like Michelangelo or compose music.  In the Baroque time period rooms, studied by 3rd graders, you could draw a Baroque scene with a marker or go to the instrument 'petting zoo'. Band students from Myrtle Grove Middle School brought their instruments and shared them with visitors.  4th graders learned about the Romantic/Impressionism time period. Visitors to Arts Alive could try imitating Monet's Garden with chalk pastels or draw what they heard at listening stations.  Students in 5th grade had been studying arts in modern times so visitors had the change to splatter paint like J. Pollock or learn modern line dancing.  Some fifth grade students entertained visitors with story telling.
