Stories from Walt Disney Magnet Elementary School
Suzette Bross & The Principal Project
Project Overview
Principal Project is an ongoing body of work within CPS Lives, a citywide non-profit arts organization where Chicago artists are paired with Chicago Public schools to share each school’s unique story. The photographic portraits of Chicago Public School Principals in their offices show what the leaders of public school look like today. The formal portraits of the Principals in their personal space show the dynamic range of character and personality of each individual. The way each Principal presents themselves in their portraits shows how they would like to project their leadership. Mementos and signage in their offices tell stories about the individual, what things are important to them and their ideas of leadership in their school community. By looking at the Principals using traditional documentary methods, I hope to change conceptual and cultural perceptions of what a leader of a public school looks like.
Maggie Meiners & Walt Disney Magnet Elementary School
Project Overview
Students at Disney Magnet are exploring the use of Theme and Variation in many art forms through the lens of emotion. Through studying color and effect in Photography and tempo, pitch, and instrumentation in Music, students are learning how various of forms of media can be manipulated to evoke specific emotions. The objectives of this unit are focused on students using a main theme and then varying it to the emotions that describe their identity.
I can statements:
1. I can change the pitch of a theme to create a variation that evokes an assigned emotion.
2. I can change the instrumentation of a theme to create a variation that evokes an assigned emotion.
3. I can change the tempo of a theme to create a variation the evokes an assigned emotion.
4. I can change the color of photo to create a variation that evokes an assigned emotion
5. I can add effects to a photo create a variation that evokes an assigned emotion
Disney Magnet worked closely with CSO and Civic Orchestra Fellows to present a concert with numerous other schools, including Swift, Agassiz, and several others. The Disney students’ musical work, performance art, and digital portraits were showcased during this event.
Here is a clip from ABC News.
The students were assigned a specific genre of music that ranged from Hip Hop to Jazz to Salsa and were asked to create a short musical melody using elements from that specific era. Once the music portion was complete Maggie Meiners from CPS LIVES introduced the 8th grade class to several movements in art as they related to the music genres studied and themes and variations. She took portraits of each student and then the students were given the opportunity to digitally manipulate their portraits to best represent the genre of music they were working on. The portraits were used as a backdrop to their performance with CSO.
