FIBER ART & FINE ARTS

​

WAITLIST Fiber Arts 6th-12th: In this handwork class, students will learn many foundational skills for various fiber arts. Students will have the opportunity to learn hand sewing, knitting, and crochet. We dive deep into each area so students can learn perseverance through each project and joy when a project is completed. Handwork encourages students to cross the midline of their bodies and visualize the steps to complete a project. This strengthens neuropathways, reinforces math skills, and provides opportunities for light meditation or an “out breath” in the school day. Students are encouraged to use their creativity, while we all might make the same project, each student’s work will be different from their neighbor’s.

Embroidery begins our dive into color design, and how the use of colors can alter the visual representation of objects.

WAITLIST Art History Through Popular Media 6th-12th: The art that we make tells us so much about how we are experiencing the world around us, and no art form is so reliably “of its day” as cartooning and illustration.

​

LIMITED U.S. History Through Literature: This class surveys U.S. history through literature, using novels, short stories, and other texts to present a kaleidoscope of perspectives about the past. This lecture and discussion-based course will cultivate interdisciplinary ways of thinking about the past and present to ask, what does it mean to be an American? What aspirations, contradictions, and exclusions have been embedded in the idea of the nation, the structure of the state, and the stories we have told ourselves about society and our place in it? In an unconventional approach we’ll read literature as historical texts and read history as literature. For instance, how do we get to know the 19th century when we read Colson Whitehead’s Underground Railroad as a true telling of Antebellum America? How does a fantastical portrayal of a physical railroad help us think about the material meanings of slavery and freedom and experiences of race, place, and identity—major questions of U.S. history? Our goal here is to discover more dynamic and engaging ways to learn about the past.Students will cultivate critical writing skills through regular reader responses. They’ll also have the opportunity to become authors of their own. For a final project, they’ll gather an archive of primary and secondary sources to construct their own annotated work of short historical fiction.
