ARTcentric: "Fall Into Joy"
This year in Berkshire Art Center's ARTcentric program, students will explore social-emotional learning (SEL) through creativity and the many ways we experience JOY! In this arts-integrated program, students will dive into three interconnected ideas over the course of the year. This fall, we'll "Fall into Joy" while finding joy within ourselves and everyday experiences. Students will design self portraits depicting the things they love, construct whimsical eye-spy collages, create joyful animal symbol illustrations, build peaceful place dioramas, and so much more. This curriculum is developed in collaboration with our wonderful ARTcentric teachers and the theme is inspired by artist-in-residence Wes Bruce's joyful philosophy. ARTcentric provides a creative and welcoming space for students to express and deepen their understanding of themselves, their peers, and the world around them through the visual arts.
This program is supported in part by the Eagle Fund of Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation and the Alford/Egremont, New Marlborough, and Sheffield Cultural Councils, local agencies which are supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency. This program is not sponsored or endorsed by the Southern Berkshire Regional School District. Limited scholarships available to EBT, WIC, and ConnectorCare cardholders thanks to our amazing partners—Adams Community Bank, Berkshire Bank, Feigenbaum Foundation, Greylock Federal Credit Union, Lee Bank, and Mill Town Foundation.
