History And Art Combined i In Pilot Program In Schools Duplin senior high school's students have been given the opportunity to par ticipate in the study of county folklife which combines both art and history, program coordinator Shirley Gaskins said. Twelve Duplin high school seniors are enrolled. According to Gaskins, the pilot program is designed to provide senior high school students with one unit of credit in Arts Education. The additional Arts Education is necessary for students choosing to participate in the North Carolina Scholars pro gram. Work on the program entitled "Our Rich Inheri tance: A Study of Duplin County's Regional Folklife" involves independent study after school hours and during weekends, Gaskins ex plained. Students select from one of four areas of folk arts, en tertainment such as dance, music and drama; material culture as found in artifacts and architecture; traditional crafts or family folklore. The folklife arts education was approved by the North I Carolina Department of Public lnsturction as a pilot project to be offered for its first time this year in Duplin County. "Duplin is a rural county and in rural counties there are all types of traditional craftsmen." Arts Education Program Coordinator Shirley Gaskins said. "The program will give students the oppor tunity to learn about folk crafts. Students will learn to do that craft and through this project we will be preserving our heritage and not losing our folk arts. The program is designed to instill students with a greater appreciation for folk crafts in Duplin County." Along with indivi dual research, students of the Arts Education program are required to participate in a 50-hour internship. Students will choose intern ships at Liberty Hall or the outdoor drama THE LIBERTY CART and work as administrative assistants and tour guides or Cowan Mu seum recording historical data on displayed items. Objectives of the program are to identify the ways in which culture is passed from one generation to the next and develop an appreciation for the traditions and struc tures of the past, Gaskins said. The program is also designed to help students develop a positive attitute toward their heritage as art, she said. In the process of completing the arts educa tion course students are re quired to submit an eight page research article on their folk project. The student will identify at least five tradi tional artists related to their topic and Gaskins said a cultural journalistic publica tion of the traditional artists will be compiled at the end of the project. The publication of research articles and a tra ditional artists resource manual will be made avail able to the public in the Duplin County Dorothy Wightrnan Library and school libraries. Along with research and internships, the students will be required to develop a 30-minute pre sentation to a fourth or eighth grade North Carolina history class. "Exposure to one portion of the arts. I think will develop an appreciation," Gaskins said. "And, that appreciation will overflow into other aspects of the arts." Along with study of Duplin folklife heritage, stu dents will be required to attend four group field trips and some suggested visits include the North Carolina Museum of Art. East Caro lina Repertoire Theatre, Ap palachian Folk Art Center, Seagrove Potters Museum, Dance Festival and local festivals. Students will also meet six sessions with con sultants.
