Education Programs

The JCAC Greater Jasper Consolidated Schools, Holy Family School, and Precious Blood School proudly announce the Education Series for 2010-2011. For over 20 years, these partners have worked together to provide professional arts experiences, both in the schools and at the Jasper Arts Center, for Jasper students, K-12. We believe in developing an appreciation of the arts at a young age. Recent studies have shown that individuals with some arts background are more creative and bring the necessary skills to adapt in a rapidly changing world market. But...we hope the kids just have fun, too!

Many of our series performers will also be conducting school performances, master classes, or workshops. Several of our visual artists will also be found in classrooms. In addition, some guest artists are provided just for our school programming.

Briefly...

Programming for Grades K-2

JHS Classroom Connections

JHS Classroom Connections. a program which consists of across the curriculum workshops for students with professional visual and performing artists. This program allows artists to integrate into classrooms not traditionally thought of as "arty." We believe this builds upon our mission as a Kennedy Center Partner in Arts in Education.

Artists will be visiting classrooms in the following areas: Art, Sociology, Language Arts, Special Needs, Family and Consumer Sciences, Business, Web Design and Media, American and World History, World Geography, Painting, Jazz and regular Band.
