Art and Technology
The combination of art and technology presents young people with opportunities to express themselves and exercise their imaginations. The powerful pairing of the two media provides kids with tools and methods to go beyond traditional learning. It also deepens their understanding of the subject at hand while nurturing the multiple intelligences.
Children's Media Project: Animated Learning
The Children's Media Project (CMP) was founded in 1994 to give young people "creative space"-literally and figuratively-to exercise their imaginations while gaining skills to express themselves through electronic media. Children's Media Project brings creativity into today's activities through a combined use of art and technology that stimulates students to learn more, do more and be more.
CMP worked with 5th graders in Ulster County, NY to create the following two films that attempt to answer essential questions from NYS Social Studies Core Curriculum as well as other subject areas...
