Program areas at Free Arts Nyc
Teen Arts program:the teen Arts program provides access to the Arts and builds a pathway to academic and professional success with the support of a mentor. Program tracks include portfolio development, creative lab and internships. Tracks incorporate 21st century skill building workshops, networking opportunities and visits to artists studios, while also developing the vital protective factors including communication, creativity and problem solving. In portfolio development, over the course of 8 months, 7th and 11th graders work alongside their mentor on the rigorous process of building a visual Arts portfolio for admission to an art high school or college. (continued on schedule o)through creative lab, 9th-12th graders learn about the creative industry through visits to creative companies. Speaking with employees, they learn about different professions and career paths, often participating in mock work projects. Highschool and college students are eligible for paid internships at creative companies throughout Nyc.
Free Arts days:free Arts days are interactive Arts education activities for Children ages 6-12. Through art projects and one-on-one mentoring, the day helps develop visual literacy, creative problem solving and design skills. The one on one mentorship builds protective factors, such as communication skills, cooperation and confidence. Mentor and child pairs work on child-directed art projects with very little step-by-step instruction. The pairs are guided by a creative packet, with information about the days theme and projects. The curriculum is tied into the common core standards and the blueprint for teaching and learning.
