Art and business don’t intersect in everyday conversations, particularly at school, yet the two subjects often go hand in hand in the real world. Successful artists, like any business, must have a brand, capital, a business plan, and so on. How can young artists learn the valuable skills needed to succeed in the competitive worlds of art and business? Enter “Artrepreneurs”. Every year at Shanghai American School, the middle school art teachers on the Pudong campus give grade 8 students the opportunity to take charge of their artwork. The typical teacher-studentdynamic gives way, and our students to become business-minded creators.
藝術(shù)和商業(yè)在日常對(duì)話中并沒(méi)有什么交集，特別是在學(xué)校里，但兩者在現(xiàn)實(shí)世界中常常密切相關(guān)。與企業(yè)一樣，成功的藝術(shù)家必須擁有一個(gè)品牌、一些資本、一個(gè)商業(yè)計(jì)劃等等。年輕的藝術(shù)家們?nèi)绾尾拍茉诔錆M競(jìng)爭(zhēng)的藝術(shù)和商業(yè)世界中學(xué)到取得成功所需的有價(jià)值的技能呢？“藝術(shù)創(chuàng)業(yè)者”就派上了用場(chǎng)。每年，在上海美國(guó)學(xué)校，浦東校區(qū)初中部的藝術(shù)老師們都讓八年級(jí)學(xué)生有機(jī)會(huì)主導(dǎo)自己的藝術(shù)作品。跳出傳統(tǒng)的師生關(guān)系，我們的學(xué)生搖身一變，成為具有商業(yè)頭腦的創(chuàng)作者。
Two students, the Artrepreneurs, are matched with one client from the faculty. The students are then tasked with designing a clay-based piece that meets the unique desires of their client. To accomplish this, the young artists hold interviews, craft design proposals, and provide timelines in a manner typically only seen in professional environments. Throughout the project, the Artrepreneurs are expected to keep in direct communication with their client, seeking to understand and honor their needs and wants.
兩位藝術(shù)創(chuàng)業(yè)者學(xué)生一起接待一位教職員工客戶。學(xué)生們需要設(shè)計(jì)一個(gè)能夠滿足他們客戶獨(dú)特需求的黏土的作品。為此，年輕的藝術(shù)家們以在專業(yè)化的方式開展訪談，創(chuàng)作設(shè)計(jì)提案并提供時(shí)間表。在整個(gè)項(xiàng)目中，藝術(shù)創(chuàng)業(yè)者需要直接與他們的客戶保持溝通，理解并滿足他們的需求。
In the past, the Artrepreneurs have produced pieces ranging from mugs to water-fountains to four-foot recreations of the Eiffel Tower! More valuable than the grades are the skills that students gain along the way. Artrepreneurs build creativity, communication, and teamwork, all of which are vital in the worlds of art and business. The project blends the students’ artistic vision with the input of their clients, and allows students to understand the business side of art.Watch for their work on display around our school, and in the future, around the world.
