Why "Total Arts"? What is your primary focus?
"Total" - At Total Arts! we strive to promote an integrative learning environment that involves many areas of The Arts. While a origram may focus on one or two areas, the goal is to bring in additional elements of the arts to support and enhance the creative process. "Arts" - We offer workshops in a variety of artistic areas to allow for the opportunity to explore, discover, and create in different ways and through different modalities. These modes of expression result in the creation of projects, environments, and/or experiences that can be enjoyed and shared with others.
What areas of the arts do you currently offer?
We cover the fine & performing arts in many of our programs. -For the younger age groups our primary focus is on combining literature and stories with process art, music, and movement. -For older groups we run visual art, musical theater, and drama - We strive to offer a wide range of options in specific skills areas and are open to learning what you want to see.
What do you mean "It's all about the process"?
At Total Arts! our focus is about exploring a range of materials & techniques. While a sample may be provided, in many cases it is not! -We want participants to learn skills & techniques but also explore, discover, and create in their own unique way. -We want to demonstrate how the arts work together to provide a shared experience, an enhanced understanding of creative concepts & ideas, and an interactive & supportive environment for education & creativity.
Explore. Discover. Create.
