An exciting and important component of the team is the educator who will be asked to create lesson plans for their classrooms and for general publication. Many of our team teachers are working with at risk teens for example at ARTS: A Reason to Survive, SD Center for Children. Arts Media Teen Producers, and St. Madeleine Sophie’s Center . Funds raised by the Art Meets Fashion project will go to help buy supplies and tools for those schools in need to implement these lesson plans and to document and display the resulting works.Lesson plans should combine art and fashion and show both as a career path as well as tool for self expression. Lesson plan will comply with California Content Standards. Please see our Sample lesson plan PDF.
Our goal is to include teens within the teams when supervision by teachers can be provided. We would like to include some teens in the fashion show when appropriate. We will be showcasing the results of their lesson at the SD International Airport during the summer of 2011.
The exhibition will feature the results not only of cross pollination of the artist and fashion designer, but also the documentation of the process of collaboration with the educator. The documenters are all talented videographers, writers and photographers. Each team will choose a theme and those will include environmental issues, futuristic visions, and science and art connections. See theme details after Sept 15, 2010
Independent teens who wants to work on the theme Art Meets Fashion may enter the free Art Meets Fashion Online Competition until the middle of November. There is a special category for those from 14 -18. The competition is free of charge and will be juried by Kay Colvin, director of the L Street Gallery. Lesson plans developed in Part I should combine art and fashion and show both as a career path as well as tool for self expression
Goals: Invigorate student to support the arts either as participants or consumers
