A graduate-level exploration of the macro-level logistics of theatrical production management, focusing on strategic planning, financial oversight, human resources, and facility management to balance artistic vision with finite resources.
A comprehensive four-week unit and independent study guide for contemporary drama. Students analyze scripts, research playwrights, design technical elements, and stage scenes for a final production portfolio.
A festive art and culture sequence centered around St. Patrick's Day traditions and symbols.
A comprehensive 3D art unit that guides students from transforming recycled materials to mastering monumental scale, combining fine arts history with engineering and technical skill.
A comprehensive music technology unit where middle and high school students master digital audio production and collaborate to produce a multi-grade showcase concert, bridging the gap between classroom creation and public performance.
A high school visual arts sequence focusing on mastering colored pencil techniques, specifically layering, blending, and creating three-dimensional value. Students will progress from basic mechanics to rendering realistic forms with depth and vibrancy.
A comprehensive score analysis framework for middle school band and choir ensembles that integrates music literacy with text-based evidence and academic rigor. Students learn to 'read' a musical score as a primary source document, identifying technical elements and structural patterns while providing specific citations for their findings.
Une formation pour les professeurs-documentalistes centrée sur la médiation culturelle et l'accompagnement des pratiques de lecture des adolescents. L'objectif est de concilier la réalité de l'édition actuelle avec les missions pédagogiques du CDI.
This sequence explores how technology—from the electric guitar to digital software—transformed music from the mid-20th century to today, focusing on genre evolution, song structure, and production.
A comprehensive introduction to the orchestra and the Classical era for 3rd graders, covering instrument families, specific sections, key composers (Mozart and Beethoven), and the art of conducting.
A 5th-grade music history sequence exploring the development of Jazz and Blues, from African call-and-response roots to the birth of Rock n' Roll. Students investigate structural forms like the 12-bar blues, concepts like syncopation and improvisation, and the cultural resilience behind the music.
This sequence guides 5th-grade students through the evolution of Western Classical music from the Baroque period to the 20th century. Students will explore how societal shifts influenced orchestral size, musical texture, and form through active listening and analytical activities.
A graduate-level exploration of music history through the lenses of migration, diaspora, and cultural hybridity, moving beyond Western-centric narratives to examine how global movement shapes musical evolution.
A graduate-level exploration of how technological advancement (from notation to algorithms) acts as a primary driver of musical aesthetics and evolution. Students analyze the reciprocal relationship between material culture and musical expression using media theory and organology.
This 4th-grade music history sequence explores the evolution of American music from African roots to Jazz. Students investigate how historical context, community struggle, and cultural migration shaped genres like Spirituals, Blues, Ragtime, and Jazz through active listening, writing, and performance.
A chronological journey through the Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and Modern eras of Western Art Music, focusing on critical listening and historical context.
A graduate-level studio sequence focused on the transition from technical exercises to a cohesive, professional body of work. Students develop a thematic series, tackle the challenges of large-scale execution, engage in rigorous formal critiques, and curate a final presentation.
A graduate-level exploration of the intersection between medium and meaning. Students innovate with traditional materials, exploring chemical interactions, substrate manipulation, and mixed-media synthesis to develop a unique 'mark-making' vocabulary where physical texture contributes to conceptual depth.
This advanced sequence for graduate students explores the deconstruction of classical composition through dynamic symmetry, edge tension, non-Euclidean perspective, and visual hierarchy. Students will move from rigid geometric analysis to 'anti-compositional' strategies to create contemporary, tension-filled imagery.
An intensive graduate-level investigation into the physics, psychology, and application of color in fine art, focusing on relativity, semiotics, and narrative.
This graduate-level sequence explores the intersection of labor law, fiscal strategy, safety protocols, and crisis management within professional theater production. Students develop the leadership skills necessary to navigate union environments and high-stakes technical environments.
An advanced technical theater sequence for graduate students exploring the intersection of light physics, human perception, and visual storytelling. Students move from the biological mechanics of the eye to high-level system integration and dramaturgy.
A comprehensive exploration of stage management for undergraduate students, covering organizational hierarchy, documentation, rehearsal management, and technical execution. Students transition from understanding the SM role to mastery of the prompt book and cue calling.
