The goal of the Arts Program at San Carlos Park Elementary Center for the Arts is to provide an opportunity for each child to perform in front of a live audience. We provide after school performing arts programs available for children in all grade levels. These programs have regular performances at school as well as in the community.
Arts Specials and Afterschool Clubs
In Instrumental class we focus on playing instruments as an ensemble. We learn how important it is for each player to synergize to achieve the best sound. We also have the chance to learn solo instruments such as guitar, keyboard, and percussion.This year in music, students will be learning about different composers and their songs for their grade level shows. They will also learn many things such as identifying music notes, reading music, and about the different genres of music.
In art class this year we are learning about 8 major types of art. We are currently learning about collage, and in the process of finishing some awesome collages to start decorating the school with!
The Mini, Junior, and Senior Dance Companies at SCPE provide additional enrichment for students to improve technical abilities and performance skills in Dance. Students will have exciting opportunities to perform at school and in our community, sharing a in a growing appreciation of the art of Dance.
Junior chorus is made up of kindergartners, first graders, and second graders. Our members are learning the basics of singing which include pitch, rhythm, breath, and tempo. We sing a variety of songs that range from easy to medium and above all we have lots of fun learning how to sing!
Our after school drama club is a place where students grade 3-5 can learn the art of acting. Each year our students perform in a play that showcases their hard work.
We are excited for the scenery club. This club will be split into two smaller groups of 8 children and will be in charge of creating all the background pieces for the school play this year. The art club will also be helping me beautify the school throughout the year, and with assisting in outside art events the school takes part in.
