By introducing new mediums and interactive activities, the Creation Station will encourage students to think in innovative ways, unlocking their creative potential and broadening their artistic abilities.
What will be done with my students: You must include the specific Florida standards/benchmarks the grant activity(ies) will relate to and outline the specific grant activity(ies). A world languages benchmark example is: WL.K12.IM.1.1: Identify the main idea and supporting details on familiar topics expressed in a series of connected sentences, conversations, presentations, and messages.
Students will use the Creation Station as a resource for brain breaks, early finisher activities, and creative exploration. They will have access to a variety of materials on art and design including puzzles and games that stimulate subconscious thinking and concept development. Interactive tools such as kinetic sculptures and 3-D pens will allow students to engage with art in new, tactile ways, sparking creative ideas through movement and form. These activities will be woven into the art curriculum, helping students to stretch their thinking beyond traditional approaches and inspiring them to create with intention and imagination. This station promotes independence, entrepreneurial skills as well as enhancing problem-solving skills.
The Creation Station will be utilized by 6th, 7th and 8th graders (approx. 120 students), It will be S.T.E.A.M. based and will teach several aspects of the Florida Visual Arts Curriculum Standards and support the Science Curriculum, Technology Curriculum, Math Curriculum and Social Studies Curriculum.
