Visual & Performing Arts Art, Music, Drama and Dance are the Visual and Performing Arts areas in which Ohio school districts are required to identify students in grades K-12 as gifted. Nominations are accepted each fall from teachers, parents, or others familiar with a student's ability. Please send names of any student(s) you feel may be exceptionally talented in any area of Art, Music, Drama, or Dance to st_radack@smfcsd.org to initiate the identification process. Deadline for 2009-10 nominations is October 30. Nominated students are first screened using an approved checklist, then invited to participate in the county-wide Assessment Day. This is an involved process, and recommended only for students who are passionate about their area of expertise. Participating students are required to perform or display a sample of their work and be interviewed by an assessment committee. The 2009-10 Visual and Performing Arts Assessment is scheduled for Friday, February 26, 2010, at Miller-South School for the Performing Arts (Dance only) and Saturday, February 27, 2010, at Greensburg United Methodist Church located at 2161 Greensburg Rd., Green, OH (Music, Drama and Art). The handbooks below contain the state guidelines for gifted identification in Visual and Performing Arts. Students who are identified as gifted through this process are listed in a state-wide database, and encouraged to seek out extra-curricular opportunities to develop their area of talent. They may be eligible to apply for selected summer arts institutes throughout the state. The gifted designation may also be added to future college applications. At this time, no special services or programs exclusively for students identified as gifted in Visual and Performing Arts are offered through Stow schools. The assessment process itself is designed to be a positive and talent-affirming experience. Those who participate in the Assessment, do so for the experience of performing or exhibiting their art, and for the feedback from the assessors. Once identified as gifted, a student retains that designation throughout his or her school career. It is not necessary to re-qualify in subsequent years. An annual $250 scholarship is offered to any graduating senior who has been identified as gifted in one or more of the arts areas (art, music, drama, dance). Scholarship applications are due April 1.
