City Studio: BPS/SMFA Partnership High School Art Program:
One afternoon per week (TBD Tues. Wed. or Thurs) 4:00-6:00 pm for 21 weeks
City Studio is a studio based after-school art program established through a partnership between BPS and SMFA that gives Boston Public School students the opportunity to make and exhibit their work while exploring contemporary art and historical art movements. Visits to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Institute of Contemporary Art/Boston, National Center for Afro-American Artists and the galleries on the South End will complement studio courses in Drawing, Painting, Sculpture, Installation, Photography and Video. Portfolio building, technical instruction, mentoring, and installation skills will also be developed throughout the year.
Course Description
City Studio 2015/16 will guide students to delve deeper into their own personal history, cultural upbringing, and preconceived notions of reality, by engaging them in exploring contemporary art and art historical movements while creating their own personal artwork.
Our mission is to rethink, reflect, re-contextualize how high school artists think about art through their interactions with artists, instructors, institutions, galleries, and materials that will expose them to new and innovative ways of creating art. This twenty-one week after school program dedicated to constant dialogue, object development, field trips and visits with local artists will ignite the flames of inspiration each student holds within; resulting in an invaluable and formative art experience.
A weekly homework assignment will be given to help students develop independence, focus, and their own personal approach to making art. During the course of the program students will have the opportunity to exhibit in a mid-semester exhibition as well as a final exhibition.
An exhibition is mandatory and is used to evaluate student development throughout the course by assessing the formal components of visual arts incorporated into their work. Students will also work on building a portfolio and all students will receive one course credit towards high school graduation upon successful completion of the program.
Families Creating Together is interested in having Art Ed students design and lead workshops one evening a week (Wednesday nights from 5:30-7:30).
FCT is an award winning multi-generational narrative arts program which welcomes and includes children ages 5-12 years old, with and without disabilities and deaf, in an accessible setting. All workshops are presented in English, Spanish, and American Sign Language.
They can provide families, outreach, staff, a site in Jamaica Plain on the orange line, staff training support and supervision and supplies.
Workshops can be in late October, November and December.

ABOUT THE SCHOOL:
BDEA is Horace Mann charter public school serving its mission to prepare students who have dropped out of high school, and/or who are between the ages of 16 and 23 and at least two years behind traditional grade level, for success in college or career. Working with experienced faculty in an environment that blends strong academics with social and emotional supports, students are given the opportunity to earn their diploma using a competency-based curriculum that inspires critical and creative thinking, independent learning, and active citizenship. Competency education is a system that allows students to progress in classes based on demonstration of knowledge; to always be challenged but not overwhelmed by material; and to move at a pace that suits their individual learning style and life circumstances. BDEA does not have grades 9, 10, 11 and 12, nor do we use Carnegie Units (A, B, C, D, F) to measure knowledge of content. Instead, students are assessed on the material they have learned by meeting benchmarks (the rungs on the ladder leading to each of 300 competencies), all of which are aligned to the Common Core Standards. Our extended program, beginning at nine a.m. and running until six p.m., serves students with a variety of academic and personal challenges, including those who are being promoted from middle school without being academically prepared for high school; those who have dropped out of high school and have decided to return to earn a diploma, and those who are unable to attend regular school hours due to a variety of outside issues and obligations. The school employs 50 full and part-time staff to work with 380 students and runs on a trimester system.
We are looking for teachers who are committed to working with our students, who understand the lives of urban youth and who have a track record of working successfully with students who face academic and personal challenges.

the Office of Civil Rights and Diversity
Three MassArt Departments are offering a FREE field trip to Dartmouth College to view two remarkable art exhibitions. Witness: Art and Civil Rights in the Sixties, reflects upon the Civil Rights Movement in this 50th year anniversary of the signing of the Civil Rights Act and the Supreme Court case, Brown vs. the Board of Education, both of which occurred in 1964. The Hood Gallery on the campus of Dartmouth College is one of only three locations in the country to host this powerful art exhibit of pieces responding to civil events of the 1960s by 66 diverse artists. The exhibition offers a focused look at painting, sculpture, graphics, and photography from a decade defined by social protest and American race relations.
“Beauty and violence, art and evidence, tribulation and transcendence — so much sings out from these works,” says R.C. Baker, Village Voice, April 9, 2014 (see full review at http://digitalissue.villagevoice.com/publication/?i=204621&p=21)
The Epic of American Civilization, 24 painted panels mounted permanently in Dartmouth’s Baker-Berry Library, by the esteemed Mexican artist José Clemente Orozco, is an ambitious mural painted between 1932 and 1934 to document a unique perspective on the history of the Americas from the Aztecs to the New Deal. Considered one of the finest murals in the US, it was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 2013.
We will travel in a bus from and to MassArt, leaving at 2:00 on Wednesday, October 8 from Tetlow Street outside Tower to the Dartmouth campus (about 2.5 hours). Bring food or take a break to eat at one of many near-by restaurants in the college area.
