Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, MUSEUM OF CHILDREN’S ART will teach art-focused curriculum, plan for, and execute four field trips that will expose 105 Oakland Unified School District high school youth, who participate in its Community Futures School, to high-quality museum and arts-tech interactive exhibits by facilitating attendance and engagement with their peers and arts educators. For under-resourced students who would particularly benefit, the field trips will help cultivate appreciation for the arts and understanding of themselves as the next generation of world citizens; and promote culturally responsive learning through the arts to support students’ positive self-identification within and respect for diverse cultures.
Organization Summary
MOCHA annually serves 30,000 Bay Area children, youth and their families, in three core program areas: School Programs, through which professional teaching artists lead sequential art lessons in classrooms and after school programs and provide professional development to teachers; Museum Programs, which include exhibits, open studios, field trips, art parties, art camps and family workshops in our downtown Oakland museum; and Community Programs, through which we bring interactive art making and family programming to libraries, recreation centers, festivals and other public venues.
