ACHF Arts Education
8: ?Regional residents learn new arts skills and techniques.? High school students will have the skill to interpret through film and animation to create a video. 9: ?Regional residents gain awareness and appreciation for a variety of artistic disciplines and mediums.? High school students will learn that storytelling and visual arts go together. They will learn how to combine photographs, digital animations, and video into a completed video short. The teaching artist and YME High School art teacher and Dakota Upper Sioux members will review work by the students. The video shorts will show evidence of the key characteristics of the Dakota culture. Each group of students will focus on a video short. Students will present their projects at a public reception. The following survey questions will be asked of the students before and after the residency: Have you ever heard Dakota stories' Does your family tell stories related to your culture? Would you like to learn more storytelling using media arts' How do you think visual images and video can help tell a story with an abstract message? Success will be indicated in the following ways: 1) video shorts created, 2) collaboration between students and Dakota members to create the video, 3) students will be able to use new video editing skill to create a video, and 4) public presentation of the video shorts.
