Art Institute - Supporting excellence in art instruction through Advocacy, Education and Recognition. The Original Works Art Institute was established in 1993 as an advocate for art education and recognition. The Art Institute provides art teachers with assistance in art ideation and lesson plan development, through the creation and distribution of art samples and lesson plans. Several of our lesson plans now meet the rigorous Discipline Based Art Education (DBAE) Standards. As
part
of our mandate to recognize outstanding children's artwork and artistic
instruction, we have also developed two levels of recognition for participants
in our Original Works Art Program. These recognition levels are
the Original
Works Prism Award and
Original Works
Art Honor Roll. Based on an annual review of hundreds of thousands of pieces of children's artwork from our participating schools nationwide, we select two or three schools each year as recipients of our Prism Award. The Prism Award represents the pinnacle of achievement in children's art education. It honors art teachers whose student's art exemplifies the highest level of accomplishment. Winners of the Prism Award receive a beautifully cut crystal etched with the winners name and year, and a full color framed certificate showcasing a representative piece of student artwork from that school. The principal and art supervisor of the winning schools are also notified of this important distinction. The
Original Works Art Honor Roll In addition to the prestigious Prism Award, the Art Institute also recognizes broader overall excellence in art education through our Art Honor Roll. Each year the top 5% of schools participating in our program are selected for inclusion on the Art Honor Roll. These schools are appointed to the Art Honor Roll based upon a defined criteria of artistic consistency and creativity across all grade levels. Winners are recognized with a certificate worthy of framing. The school principal and art supervisors of each school are also notified of the achievement.
