Art Off Line
The High Line, in collaboration with Quest to Learn Middle School, presents Potential Futures #15, a new immersive installation by Azikiwe Mohammed with participating students from Quest to Learn.
Through school partnerships the High Line can be an extension of your classroom. We collaborate with educators to create and facilitate interdisciplinary curricula that reflect students’ needs and schools’ learning goals in response to our changing world. High Line Education is dedicated to designing programs that can benefit our neighboring schools. We’ve most recently worked with teachers at Quest to Learn Middle School, Quest to Learn High School, the Fannie Lou Hamer Freedom School, PS 33 Chelsea Prep, and the James Baldwin School for in-school, after school, and virtual residencies.
High Line Education and the James Baldwin School collaborate on the Climate Art after school class as an in-person and remote learning experience for students. This class is an opportunity for students to earn 1 Earth Science or 1 Visual Art credit per semester.
Course content is a converging of Climate Science and Art Making through Social and Emotional Learning pedagogy. The class curriculum is co-designed by a High Line interdisciplinary Teaching Artist and an NYCPS classroom science teacher with input from students. In the course, students examine climate change indicators like the Keeling Curve, the Greenhouse Effect, and the Carbon Cycle with an emphasis on the human influence on climate change.
'' Working with the High Line on an interdisciplinary course brings the science of climate action to life for my students.'
The High Line’s education programs with Quest to Learn Middle School integrate experiential learning from the High Line’s gardens, public art, and public space with creative art-making, design challenges, and personal expression. High Line curriculum coalesces with the school’s innovative learning approach toward problem-solving, resulting in hands-on interdisciplinary projects that engage with real-world issues. Previous projects include a student-led design competition to redesign the roof at the school, 3-D tree sculptures that explore the science and mythology of trees, and student designs for public murals and sculptures that they would install in public spaces. High Line educational programs encourage students’ curiosity and connection with the world around them.
