Music
Center Announces Artsource® on the Web!
Bring the Arts Alive in Your Classroom
Bring the Arts Alive in Your Classroom
A
free gift for K through 12 educators!
In
this time of economic challenges, the Music Center, one of the leading
performing arts centers in the United States, is making
Artsource® materials available at no cost. We invite you to review
these exceptional model units of study and download them for use in your
classroom. The Music Center will first feature the Artsource® written
materials, and later post corresponding audio and video materials.
The
Music Center's Artsource® curriculum is designed to bring the
expressive world of the arts into classrooms. Artsource® empowers you
to:
- Present artistic models in dance, music and theatre to your students
- Integrate the arts with other subject areas, such as Language Arts, Social Studies, History and Science
- Explore a broad spectrum of multicultural art forms with students in the classroom
- Guide students through varied levels of Standards-based lessons
Each Artsource® unit
includes short summaries that provide historical and cultural background on
selected artists and a description of the featured artwork. Built on the
components of the California Visual and Performing Arts Framework and arts
Standards, each lesson includes clear student outcomes, criteria for meaningful
tasks and assessment questions.
Once
you've had a chance to explore these resources, we would love your
feedback. What might we do to make these accessible and user-friendly for
teachers and students?
