Visual and Performing Arts Academies (2-8)
The AM portion of this program is possible through the Interdistrict Cooperative Grant awarded by the State of Connecticut Department of Education. If you are registering for the AM program only, a $50 fee is due upon registration.AM 8-12 Visual and Performing Arts Program: The Visual and Performing Arts (VPA) Program offers a unique blend of creativity and learning for students, with a grant-funded morning session and a fee based afternoon extension. The morning portion of the program is made possible through the Interdistrict Cooperative Grant received from the State of Connecticut Department of Education. Students can participate in this enriching experience for a $50 registration fee. This year’s focus, Permaculture, explores sustainability through its three core ethics: Earth Care, People Care, and Fair Shares. Students will use scientific observation to analyze natural phenomena, examine human impact on the environment, and explore cultural influences on sustainability. Participants explore a wide range of artistic disciplines, including dance, African drumming, digital design, stop-animation, wearable art, drawing, painting, sculpture, and puppetry. The program also includes a field trip to a local museum, where students will have the opportunity to explore contemporary art and draw inspiration from professional works. This program runs from 8:00 AM until 12:00 Noon. Transportation options are available and are listed at the bottom of this description.*This morning program is contingent on being awarded the Interdistrict Cooperative Grant through the Connecticut State Department of Education. Since the current program design is contingent on grant funding, should funding not be awarded, ONLY the morning program will NOT be held and the registration fee will be refunded. Notification of grant awards is expected in July.*PM 12-4 Farmington Continuing Education Summer Art Academy: For students wishing to extend their day, Farmington Continuing Education is offering the FCE Art Academy in the afternoon. This additional, pay-for-service component continues the exploration of art principles and techniques introduced during the morning session. Running from 12 PM to 4 PM for the same two weeks the Visual and Performing Arts program runs (July 28 - August 8), the afternoon Academy delves deeper into the topics covered earlier in the day, with opportunities for more hands-on projects, personalized instruction, and collaborative group work. Students can further enhance their artistic skills while fostering creativity and critical thinking. The work done in this afternoon program will be highlighted in the culminating event on August 28th. This option includes the morning VPA program and its fees. If you register for this option, you do not need to register for the AM program.*The PM portion of this program is not funded by the Interdistrict Cooperative Grant and will run regardless of the grant being awarded.*Transportation: Busing will be available to/from Vance School in New Britain, Linden Street School in Plainville, and Rawson Elementary in Hartford each day.
