Click here to access our print registration form.
This year's program theme, "ART-a-tude", challenges participants to look at the world through the eyes of an artist. Think about it!
- Can you find art or beauty in the every day world? How would you represent it?
- Is there music in the sound of a friend's or family member's voice?
- Is there rhythm in the sound of nature or the flow of your day?
- How would your emotions sound if you played them on a drum or other instrument?
- Could you choreograph a dance to show how you feel or what you think?
- Could you create a piece of visual art from ordinary items you find in your home or classroom?
- What colors would you use to represent your emotions?
These questions and more will help you frame your own "Art-a-tude". Have fun and get creative!
All classrooms in GISD programs are invited to participate in VSA Michigan - Genesee County programs.

Activity Calendar: September 2010-June 2011
The registration fee is $10.00 per classroom plus $1.00 per student materials fee. We have not raised the registration fee since VSAMI-GC's inception. This money enables us to put more dollars into the festivals to pay our artists for their valuable contributions and to pay for particiants' festival shirts. Attached are an application and a list of staff responsibilities to keep handy. A schedule of planned activities, fundraisers, volunteer opportunities, t shirt order form and three calls for art are also attached. Please read them all, volunteer for some and participate as much as possible. You may submit your registration to your building representaive. T shirt order forms will be distributed to the classes that register and will be due in January, 2011.
Please be sure to pay your registration fees by check.
Thank you for your interest and enthusiasm. For more information, contact Carolyn Vierkorn by email: cvierkorn@sbcglobal.net or cvierkor@geneseeisd.org or by phone at 810-513-4454. Please note your responsibilities when you register your classroom or group.
VSA ARTS STAFF RESPONSIBILITIES
- To notify building administrator of dates and times of workshops/performances.
- To arrange appropriate space in the building and transportation when necessary. Transportation is the responsibility of the school district/program.
- To call and meet or talk with the visiting artist(s) prior to the activity to discuss curriculum and the needs of the group involved. VSA urges artists to provide a lesson plan ahead of time.
- To be an active participant and encourage all staff to participate as well. These experiences should be regarded as hands-on inservice for you too. When the artist leaves, you will have the tools to build on those artistic processes.
- To complete any pre- and post-experience questionnaires and assist the artists in filling out theirs, if needed.
- Call or email the program coordinator (Carolyn Vierkorn) should any questions or concerns arise.
- To record as much as possible on film and/or video tape remembering to include only those with MEDIA RELEASES.
- To volunteer time toward at least one event which benefits the organization, such as manning a booth at a local event, help at a recognition/awards reception, book fair or other fundraiser. Two hours of your time will make a difference.
