Arts for Learning

Arts for Learning engages children with the arts by bringing teaching artists into schools and communities. We believe in the arts and their ability to transform education. We believe that when learning is enriched with the arts, students get more out of school.

Arts for Learning offers programs in various forms – including performances, hands-on workshops, and in-depth residencies. Our programs connect the arts with the curriculum to supplement learning.

Our programs occur wherever learning takes place, including afterschool programs, libraries, community centers, juvenile detention facilities, and hospitals.

Ones and Twos by Theon Lee

Program description

When it comes to the subject of math, the first thing students take to is pattern. As years go on, however, many youth never accurately learn or forget to apply pattern to more complex mathematical problems, leaving them behind the learning curve. Ones and Twos is a beat boxing workshop that incorporates math and human beat boxing, one of the subcultures of hip hop. This interactive workshop introduces pattern as a game by using numbers, symbolism, and onomatopoeia to turn math puzzles into musical compositions. The program promises that students will gain an understanding of the correlation between basic arithmetic, music, and pattern as it pertains to a form of composition.
