Local award winning African-American <br />artist, Dare Coulter, will be invited to speak to students in an engaging <br />presentation about her work, including a discussion about her own journey <br />as an artist, the lessons of failure and success, and making murals and <br />children’s book illustrations. She will speak to students in several settings <br />over the course of the day–the school auditorium and individual <br />classrooms. A presentation from Dare Coulter would resonate with so <br />many of CHHS’s students–our Black and Brown students, our students who <br />are artistic, our entrepreneurs, our creatives, our language students, etc. <br />This would be an opportunity to bring our "village" together and be inspired. <br />Project Start Date <br />(no earlier than July <br />1, 2024) <br />January 1, 2025 <br />Project End Date (no <br />later than June 30, <br />2025) <br />May 1, 2025 <br />Project Goals To expose students to a successful African American artist and to hear <br />about her journey as an artist; <br />To have students of color see themselves in a visiting artist; <br />To have Ms. Coulter give students feedback on their work; <br />By having the artist come to CHCCS (as opposed to a field trip to the <br />artist), more students can be exposed <br />Cirruculum and <br />Enrichment <br />This project directly aligns with the CHCCS Mission and Vision to <br />Empower, Inspire and Engage, as we seek to help spark the curiosity of all <br />students through connecting to their interests--and connecting with our <br />larger community. Providing the opportunity to students to hear Dare speak <br />aligns with multiple disciplines, including French classes (where they study <br />community art), AP African American History (as Dare focuses a lot of her <br />work on the Black identity and experience), and all of the Arts, English, and <br />History classes. This project aims to inspire our students to follow their <br />passions, like Ms. Coulter. <br />Docusign Envelope ID: C3A1CC4E-DD50-41BD-9C00-9C030AFDC3C5
