FIELD TRIP PROGRAM

Please visit the UAArtsEd.com website for updated information about all of the Crealdé School of Art Field Trip programs.

“What Heritage Means to Me” Field Workshop and Trip Program is for grades 4 through 8 (ages 9 to 15). Public school, private school, home school, youth groups and visiting/touring student groups are welcome!
The "What Heritage Means to Me" Public School Field Trip Program offers groups of up to 30 fourth to eighth graders an interactive tour and discussion of The Heritage Collection: Photographs and Oral Histories of West Winter Park, a permanent, museum-quality exhibition of more than 100 framed, archival pieces that capture the lives of Winter Park’s African-American community. Also on display is the Hannibal Square Timeline that documents significant local and national events in African-American history since the Emancipation Proclamation. 
A discussion followed by a tour is led by a community historian. Then students participate in a visual art hands-on workshop, creating a piece of folk art based on their personal experience of tradition, heritage, family, community and country.
Program Features:

• Offered Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, 10 am – noon.
• Enhances history and humanities, social studies, language arts and visual arts curriculum.
• Intergenerational – hear about history from the people of another generation who actually lived it!
• Heritage-based curriculum personalizes and brings to life our area’s interesting past and juxtaposes local events with national civil rights events.
• Students articulate their experience of cultural heritage and the personal significance of family, local and national historical events.
• Team-building and visual-expression skills are utilized as students create a collaborative work of folk art to take back to the classroom.
• Can be adapted for older or younger student groups and tailored to include discussion that relates directly to the current classroom focus and curriculum.
