| Learning at Booker Arts Magnet School means growing in many areas. Booker Arts Magnet offers a strong emphasis on the arts, coupled with high academic standards maintained in the basic courses. Booker Arts Magnet students not only master the curriculum - they experience it as well. Reading, writing, grammar, spelling, math, social studies, and science are enhanced with a fine arts emphasis. Students learn by experiencing creative movement as well as by hearing and performing music, by creating and seeing art, and by participating in dramatic exercises. Booker Arts Magnet teachers are distinguished by a personal commitment to the arts, and by professional training in providing creative experiences in the classroom. Basic academic requirements are enhanced by emphasis in visual arts, music, drama, and creative movement. Visual art, music, drama, and creative movement specialists on the Booker Arts Magnet staff offer additional creative opportunities in choral music, woodwind, percussion, keyboard instruments, orchestra, song writing, tone chimes, creative movement, gymnastics, drama, and art. An added bonus is that Booker Arts Magnet students have the opportunity to study with various artists-in-residence. Through this unique program, Booker Arts Magnet students have enjoyed working with a photographer, calligrapher, creative writer, storyteller, sculptor, quilt maker, dancer, juggler, cartoonist, and a muralist. These residences have also exposed commercial art and graphic design, illustration, drama, and audiovisual production. Community resources of visual and performing artists further enhance the fine arts emphasis. Booker Arts Magnet students enjoy visits from guest artists, art collections at the Arkansas Arts Center, field trips to art museums, and a variety of artistic performances. Part our growing for Booker Arts Magnet students is expanding their horizons by broadening their appreciation of the arts, and by developing their skills within these arts. | ||||||||
