Arts education now. Innovative minds tomorrow.About The Creative Advantage Online Arts
The Creative Advantage is a city-wide initiative to establish equitable access to arts education for each and every student in Seattle Public Schools. Creative Advantage Online Arts (CAOA) was created in response to COVID-19 to support students and families during school closures, as well as teaching artists who were contracted to lead school day residencies. Lessons focus on a variety of skills and techniques as well as ways to practice 21st Century Skills (Collaboration, Communication, Creative + Critical Thinking, Growth Mindset + Perseverance) in art-making.Meet teaching artist Anna Banana Freeze from the Massive Monkees crew and learn about the history of Breaking (and Hip Hop) and the basic moves: Top Rocks, Drops, and Freezes. This lesson, which dives deep into Top Rocks in particular (such as the two-step!), is great for learners of all ages, particularly youth grades K-5. This is the 1st of 4 videos in Anna's Beginning Breaking series.
The Creative Advantage Online Arts video series is created by The Creative Advantage in collaboration with teaching artists and organizations on our Community Arts Partner Roster, Seattle Public Schools, and production partners NFFTY / The Talented Youth, NW Film Forum, and Reel Grrls Pro. The Creative Advantage is a city-wide initiative to establish equitable access to arts education for each and every public school student, made possible through a public-private partnership with Seattle Public Schools, the City of Seattle Office of Arts & Culture, the Seattle Foundation, and 100+ community arts partners and teaching artists.
