Art Expression Inc – ARTletic

Students cross-train with art facilitators and physical fitness experts to blend competitive games, sports psychology concepts, and art-making. Participants create art projects inspired by sports, from goals to obstacles to redesigning trophies. We invite students to widen their social circles as they engage in activities for the athlete and artist within. ARTletic seeks to inspire students to develop positive mind and body habits for life, and develop skills, knowledge and dispositions such as empathy, open-mindedness and perseverance.
The Art facilitator helps students experience effective ways of reflecting and communicating with peers, instructors and others. In both the art and athletics portions of the sessions, playfulness and exploration will be keys to achieving the program’s goals. The program’s designers are Art Expression’s art facilitators and physical education and art teachers, each lending their expertise. The group creates art projects that serve as functional art for fitness activities. For example, students may design their own weights with their motivational goals written on them. By investing in their own ideas and artwork, students feel connected to the outcome. Students are encouraged to test their designs, fitness goals and games within a supportive group of facilitators.
