Concord High School will be offering multiple Arts courses in the upcoming year. Graphic Design/Art program for those interested in receiving hands-on technical and creative skills that are interactive and project based. These projects will consist of learning web programming skills and design as well as using industry standard programs such as Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator.

Concord HS will also be developing a Literature in the Dramatic Arts course designed to expose students to famous literature works that have been told through the lens of books, movies and theatre. Students will analyze the texts of books, plays, and films. Students will experience a class trip to a Broadway theatre production.

In addition, Concord students can learn about the other aspects of the Arts through art history. This course will focus on artwork such as paintings, architecture, and sculpture. Students will gain an understanding of various artistic styles. Students will attend (virtually/in-person) museums and famous architecture pieces around the world to gain a better understanding of the artist's work.

Concord High School is a small transfer high school that offers students the opportunity to earn a HS diploma through a personalized student schedule. Many of our students are overage (Ages 16 - 21) and under-credited in comparison to the traditional hs student.

Many of our students also want to be better prepared for the workforce. One pathway to developing our students for the 21st Century is by offering Graphic Art/Design as an option, allows interested students to develop hands-on technical and creative skills that are interactive and project based.

It was our goal to maintain our sequence for Theater, Music, and Digital Arts through this remote year. Along with Sundog Theatre, NAFME, and the US Marine Corps Band, our students were able to attend workshops both in person and virtually, as well as perform virtually for a myriad of audiences. A grant for a teaching visual artist was accepted for a full year, 32 weeks and was integral in keeping the spirits of our students, from novice to gifted at an all time high. Many students stayed in the virtual program the full year; the number of student visual artists participating in classes for drawing and sketching in this extracurricular workshop showcases the hidden talent in our school. We continue to utilize our TV Studio through hands-on experience when filming student productions, and for editing our remote events such as our upcoming Graduation and Senior Awards Ceremonies. We hope to be able to return with students to the opera, the ballet and Broadway to enhance their relationships with the arts in the future; we unfortunately had to cancel all excursions and our in-house dance teacher in residence, due to COVID. As a specialized high school with an active STEAM program, we continue to utilize our MakerSpace, creating multitudinous arts projects, as well as subsidizing our mural projects, adorning the halls of our school building for the third year now.

By June of 2021, 100% of our students will receive and engage in a comprehensive Art, Music, Dance or Dramatic Performance education, and will demonstrate NYS Next Generation Learning Standards as measured by the NYC Blueprint for the Arts. This includes Visual Art and/or Performance Arts. K-8 schedules in rotation blocks allows students to receive this education. Students will incorporate learning into stage and school performances which will be available remotely for parents/community. Intermediate students will be programmed with Art, Band, Chorus or Drama, depending upon interest/talent. Due to the pandemic our in person work with outside cultural organizations was restricted. We will resume our partnership with CASA next year subject to funding. Even though we have no residency this year, our teachers have been trained through past residencies to teach dance to our students and continue to provide quality arts classes for students. As a culmination, all students will display their talents through various performances and art exhibits remotely, which will be documented and assessed and be available to the community remotely.

PS/ IS 45K provides students with the opportunity to learn to act on stage, sing in a chorus and engage in hands-on arts projects. Funds are set aside to enable all students to participate in cultural activities, such as virtual field trips to the theater, virtual visits to art galleries and engage with virtual artistic consultants. In the past we have purchased keyboards and percussion instruments to enhance the musical capabilities of our students during the school day. However, due to the pandemic, we have instead shifted to virtual opportunities via singing and arts woven into the class time in elementary classrooms. Teachers of the arts continue to be provided with professional development training throughout the school year, which enhances their knowledge and our arts programs. This year, Music and the Brain, has been suspended due to the need for staff in blended and remote learning. The Early Childhood keyboard program, will be re-established next year focusing on learning literature through song and play. Our goal for the school year is to differentiate the arts learning for students of all grades. Our middle school student prepare for high school, by creating a body of artwork that spans their sixth through eighth grade years. This provides our students with an opportunity to build art portfolios with a visual arts focus. We want to have more parents participate in cultural activities and engage in a variety of musical and artistic experiences with our families.

This term was very difficult for our school community. We were able to bring the Empire LEAP After school Program back. The students of grades four and five who returned to in-school session were able to participate in this program. Students received visual arts. We hope for a continued partnership with Empire so that we can build a strong arts program at PS 75K.

At BSMART we have 2 Art classes for our high school students. We have Visual Art, and Advanced Art classes. In Visual Art class students learn the elements and principles of art, and explore these principles through various 2D art projects. Students learn to master the use of color, realistic art, and advertising art. In Advanced Art class, students are introduced to new mediums of art in both 2D and 3D. Students participate in an art show that showcases students' paintings to be sold in a silent auction. This art show, Canvases for a Cause donates all proceeds to our charity of choice. This year we donated to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

At Public School 106, we currently offer Dance and Visual Arts in Grades Pre-Kindergarten through fifth. Each student at our school is given the opportunity to enroll in our Arts Program; our goal is to instill in our students a deep appreciation of the arts. In addition, our students are offered the opportunity to participate in after school activities. Through after school programs and art organizations, the students receive a rich array of disciplines which include: Music, Dance, Performing Arts, Mural Painting, and Multi-media Production. Our curriculum is based on NYS Standards and the Blueprint benchmarks. Our students work is showcased with dance performances; their art work is displayed throughout the school. In addition, our art work is displayed at our annual Art Expo that takes place in art galleries throughout Brooklyn. Our Arts Program is supported by parental and community based involvement. We continue to look forward to enriching our community through the arts.

n 2020-2021 Public School 116K continues to reap the benefits of two licensed teachers; one in music and one in art. This year we also had an auxiliary teacher that is licensed in the area of Theater and she supported some of our classes with Reader's Theater.We had many virtual performances that were Science and Arts related and Festivals that incorporated Computer Science for All. As we are committed to the arts, we funded a Saturday Arts/ESL class where students in Grades 1-5 participated in one hour of Music and Visual Arts.

Public School 145 has a collaborative residency with Studio in a School that has been on-going for the last six years. The artist in residence provides visual arts instruction to the majority of the students in the school throughout the year. Students have shown growth in their artistic techniques in a variety of media such as; sculpture, collage, painting and animation. Students' culminating projects show their in-depth thinking and understanding of artistic creativity. We typically have a music program through Little Kids Rock and a Disney Theater Grant. These 2 programs did not occur this year because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but we will be expanding both next year.

Teachers of our arts programs were used in other capacities this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This is our sixth year with the school instrumental music program: for Kindergarten through second grade, the students have learned keyboard using the Music and the Brain program, and the students in Grades three through five learned recorder and music composition using various music technology programs such as Chrome Music Lab. This year, visual arts students experimented with different painting techniques. This year our fourth grade dual language and ICT students participated in the LEAP residency dance program. Our afterschool programs are in collaboration with Bronx Arts Ensemble, ASPIRA and LeAp, and our select students are participating in Theater, Creative Arts, Sculpture, Hip-Hop, and Violin. Our students participate in our afterschool Music, Dance and Arts program perform in our afterschool culminating event. Due to COVID-19, our annual June festival were not held. During remote learning, Music and Visual Arts teachers provided live Google Meet instruction. Teachers and students used digital platforms like flipgrid, Artsonia, google slides, PowerPoint, etc. to design, upload, display their art and music.

The 2020-2021 school year was a challenging time in the PS 274 Arts Program. Despite all of the limitations imposed by the COVID pandemic, PS 274 was still able to offer some quality arts instruction to our students. Our Visual Arts teacher Ms. Savello met remotely with each cohort throughout the year and engaged them in a variety of arts projects. Mr. Clifford delivered in person Music instruction to different Kindergarten, 2nd and 4th grade classes, incorporating bucket drumming, ukuleles and keyboards into the curriculum. In addition, Ms. Savello offered an afterschool Arts program to 2nd grade students while Mr. Clifford offered an afterschool music program to 4th graders in the spring. PS 274 was also able to partner with BAM and EASE to offer different cohorts a unique arts experience.

While this year was a difficult one, PS 274 is looking forward to coming back with a full fledged arts program in the 2021-2022 school year.

IS 291 is becoming an Arts and Leadership Academy. Students in Grades 6-8 receive Visual Arts and Music instruction as required by New York State Learning Standards. Students are introduced to the elements and principles of art through units in Painting, Drawing, and 2-D Design in-person and virtually. Music students studied elements and principles virtually through the application of theory, history, and music creations from January-June of 2021. Instruction was adapted as NYCDOE transitioned to Remote Learning throughout the school year. Therefore, the arts teachers provided flexibility for students to have access to the arts curriculum and continued integration with Social Studies the rest of the 2020-2021 school year. The Art and Music Teachers continue to develop an integrated curriculum using Social Studies and the elements of Music and Art that is interdisciplinary, user friendly and standards based. We implemented Music and Visual Arts by using Google docs/forms, Soundtrap (music), and Kleki (visual arts) for assignments. Students were able to express themselves remotely through assignments that included analyzing works of art, designing visual artwork at home, taking virtual field trip, and concerts, sharing work, listening and responding to selected modern and historical music pieces, and creating their own musical compositions influenced by history. Lastly, IS 291 completed their first musical theater production (virtually) & community broadcasted.

100% of our student population lives below poverty. Furthermore, a majority of our school community are first generation immigrants learning a new culture and language. The arts provide a universal language for those students and communities to breakdown barriers our underserved students are rarely provided. As a new Arts and Leadership Middle School, we are in need of funding, licensed NYCDOE teaching staff, and additional resources to provide services to our untapped students' across ALL grade levels in dance and musical theater/acting. In conclusion, it is our hope to garner funding, personnel, and additional resources of any performing arts school across NYCDOE; especially within our underserved minority community of Bushwick, Brooklyn.

The arts are still alive at Public School 299, even through the last 15 months of the COVID-19 Pandemic. Although we are without a dance, theater, music, or art teacher during the school day, all of our talented staff members work together to provide arts education for our students. This school year, P.S. 299 was able to collaborate with the Brooklyn Conservatory of Music. The Conservatory offered our students instrumental music with the Ukulele for students in grades 3 through 5 and Music and Movement in grades 3K through 2nd grade. We are hoping to extend these offerings for the next school year, building upon the foundation that was established this year. Along with this, every class participated in all our assembly programs this year. This included our blended learning and our fully remote classes. Our assembly programs included Hispanic Heritage, Thanksgiving, Holidays Around the World, African American History, Women's History, and Mother's Day to name a few. We are hoping to hire full-time teachers of the arts in the 2021-2022 school year.

Intermediate School 347 is fully committed to the arts. We have full-time visual arts and dance teachers that provide instruction to students in Grades 6, 7 and 8. We currently have a Humanities team which conducts interdisciplinary planning and execution of lessons for our eighth grade students through Visual Arts, Dance, English Language Arts, Social Studies and Foreign Language. We hope to build on the gains and performance made by this team to infuse both Math and Science as well. We currently have residencies and partnerships with prestigious organizations such as the Center for Arts Education. Our school hosts numerous arts exhibitions and shows throughout the year as well as provide off-site family trips to prestigious institutions such as the Lincoln Center. We also provide arts instruction for our families by offering numerous workshops. We hope to extend our residencies so that even more exposure to the arts is offered.

Visual Arts Assessments via Google Forms

As part of a robust and well-rounded curriculum, students receive the Arts as part of their schedule. Children acquire skills through Visual Arts and Dance to engage their creativity to make them better problem solvers and critical thinkers across subjects. Students create works in a variety of media and movement. Overall, Students are guided to connect their artwork (both Dance and Visual Arts) to the culture and fabric of their everyday lives. This is encouraged so students can access and use art in a way that is useful to them and relate to the world around them. That said, I.S. 349 has added social emotional and social justice components to arts instruction to help students become critical thinkers. As a result, students have created work that reflects current societal events in hopes to spur change.

Overall, our arts programming is based on the New York State requirements and standards for arts learning, and guided by New York City's Blueprint for Teaching and Learning in the Arts (https://www.weteachnyc.org/resources/resource/visual-arts-blueprint-for-teaching-and-learning-1/). The arts and core subjects such as ELA and Math are often integrated within the arts lessons and projects.

Our school is full of talented artists - visual arts and dance. We hope to connect more with cultural institutions and resources that can help better prepare our talented students for schools that specialize in the arts. Getting our students ready for the portfolio and audition performances for visual arts and dance is something we desire for next year. We hope to source support both academically, artistically, and financially to realize this goal.

We also hope to source more funding to have more in-house exhibitions of student work. Depsite the pandemic, we were able to hold five exhibitions of student work virtually. Four were in-house, an another was district wide - co-presented with two other schools.

During the 2020-2021 academic year, we continue to provide opportunities for students to showcase their unique talents and abilities while engaging in Media Arts, Dance, and Film (IMovie, Claymation, and Stop Motion Animation) Furthermore, our teachers facilitate in-house professional development for staff members to share their expertise in digital and visual arts. Our 21st-century learning environment utilizes project-based learning and instructional technology to provide rich artistic experiences for students. We continue our partnership with Brooklyn Arts Council and CASA afterschool program to provide our students with additional virtual opportunities in Music and Theater. Throughout the year we offer professional development and conduct observations to provide meaningful feedback to ensure our Arts instruction is aligned to the Next Generation Learning Standards and the Blueprint for the Arts. Our professional development in Instructional Technology fosters a trans-disciplinary approach to STEAM, to set the expectation that the arts should be integrated across all subject areas. This year, our visual arts teacher was able to provide remote learning to our K-5 students in visual arts to both blended and remote students. We also continued to showcase students' art products, by submitting them to the P.S. Art exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and by engaging students across grades K-5 in the design and selection of the PS 376 school mascot.

The Arts Program at Philippa Schuyler Middle School for the Gifted and Talented has been one of our prized jewels for many years! This versatile program offers students the opportunity to study a variety of disciplines. From Modern and Contemporary Jazz dance to Steel Pan and Theater, our students are immersed in learning activities that afford them the chance to express themselves and showcase their many talents in a multitude of ways. This year, given the constraints of COVID 19, we utilized the cohort model to introduce all of our students to a visual or performing art class. Here teachers got to work with a vast number of students to peek their interest in a variety of talents. Given the configurations of the cohorts, students on various performance levels were able to pair up with our beginner level students to assist them in developing their foundational skills in the talent. Through these student to student interactions, students learned valuable, life-long skills that are necessary to working in large and diverse groups. Additionally, they broadened the scope of our school community, allowing for teachers, students and parents to come together virtually and acknowledge the hard work and diligence found within our school's Arts programs.
