Overview

Mission

Mission Statement: To provide extraordinary creative thinking education and to foster creative courage in all people.

What it reported doing in 2010

Consulting and Partnering with Teachers and Administrators of Schools and Other Institutions with Educational Missions: The Goal is to inform current and future teachers regarding the benefits of quality arts-integration /dual discipline education in the classroom. Then, together, through collaboration, we design curricula and implement them in live classrooms. Our Educational Consulting and Partnership is an outreach program extended to teachers and administrators in numerous school settings throughout Ohio. Integration activities bring high-quality arts learning (including arts pedagogies) to teachers of content areas (including science, math, and foreign languages) across the curriculum. GSVA is proud of the progress made in its 3rd year of consulting and collaborating with The Ohio State University - Project Aspire and Columbus City Schools on quality 21st century K-12 teaching and education. GSVA works with teachers to understand the nature of the discipline and together co-design a dual discipline curriculum integrated to promote creativity and meaningful learning. Through aesthetically based, experiential learning, students will construct understandings of the subject matter at hand through their own unique worlds. Students learn to think critically, work in multidisciplinary collaborative teams, develop unique points of view, practice curatorial skills, and approach all aspects of the discipline with a creative mindset. Aspire is a 5 yr grant from the U.S. Dept of Ed. Quantitative Measures: 3222 hours of education curriculum design and/or training; 3 DVD slideshow publications; 3000+ pieces of art produced; 950 hours in Columbus City Schools and The Ohio State University ( 780 students, 10 teachers, 4 professors); 1588 educator and artist hours dedicated to Granville Schools prototype (180 students, 2 teachers); 504 hours to Newark Schools (200 students, 2 teachers)- Newark benefited from the Granville prototype; * 180 hours to Youngstown Liberty Schools ( 145 students, 8 teachers).
