  • Aspiring Attitudes
    Aspiring Attitudes
    Aspiring Attitudes got its start when the parents of a child with cerebral palsy were unable to find a dance studio that would accept special needs students. The parents were referred to Shannon Wrights, our dance instructor. Their daughter thrived under Mrs. Wrights’ teaching, gaining increased self-confidence and ease of movement. Over the next 10 years, more special needs individuals wanting the opportunity to dance were referred to Mrs. Wrights. As time passed, Mrs. Wrights sought to develop a dance program where special needs and typical students would take classes and perform side by side. Therefore, she also began accepting typical students. Currently, approximately half of Aspiring Attitudes’ students have special needs. All students now share the stage at an annual recital as well as performances at local assisted-living centers, arts festivals, and other community events. Mrs. Wrights had been teaching students out of her home in a room specially designed as a dance studio. This space became insufficient due to the ever expanding number of students wanting to take dance lessons from Mrs. Wrights. A new studio space was leased and we moved into our new studio in August, 2017.

    Norman Firehouse Art Center
    Visual Arts Education for Children and Teens The FAC has been continually refining its children’s programming for the past decade, following the 2007 redesign of its children’s curriculum in a manner similar to nationally recognized programs of excellence. This curriculum was implemented in the Art After School and Children’s Summer Art Programs, operating under the title “Creating with the Masters.” This method of developing class programming utilizes the work of master artists to educate children about the history of the visual arts, artists, techniques, museums, self-expression, and creativity. All children’s art education programming follows the Oklahoma Academic Standards for Fine Arts: Visual Arts guidelines. Classes are structured by age groups, five to six, seven to nine, and ten to fourteen, and include a variety of mediums, including painting, drawing, ceramics, collage, and mixed media. The FAC augments this programming through a partnership with the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art, which provides students with the opportunity to explore art in a formal museum setting and experience the work of master artists first-hand, while discovering the rich art resources available in their own community. Visual Arts Education for Adults Adult classes at the Firehouse are offered in a range of mediums, including painting, drawing, ceramics, sculpture, jewelry, printmaking, fiber, glass, and a variety of workshop opportunities. Classes are offered seven days a week, taking place throughout the day, beginning as early as 9 AM and ending as late as 10 PM. Courses are designed for individuals ages 17 and up, and focus on developing self expression, building technical skills, art history, and master artists, with particular attention given to the individual needs of the students. Students in the FAC’s adult classes come from diverse backgrounds and careers, with skill levels varying from beginner to professional artist, that enhance each class dynamic, while stimulating creativity and the production of unique works of art.
