Hip Hop 360

Hip-Hop 360 re-engages students back into school, while giving them an outlet to properly and constructively express themselves. For students that lack the opportunity to participate in the creative arts, Hip-Hop 360 exposes and enhances students’ creative abilities while helping them grow academically and socially.

Hip-Hop 360 provides middle school and high school students the opportunity to express themselves through various artistic avenues. The goals of Hip Hop 360 are:

1. To differentiate the same state standardized objectives for the school through creative expression.
2. To encourage cooperative learning through group projects.
3. To promote discovery learning by creating an environment that students feel comfortable to uniquely and creatively express themselves.

By focusing on the needs and interests of young adults, ages 12-17, Hip Hop 360 successfully engages youth into productive action. Beginning with an induction to hip-hop culture, history, key players, and relevance in music and art today, students then choose to specialize in one of the four creative elements: creative writing through lyricism, urban art, dance, or DJing. They receive expert instruction in their chosen element with the aim of creating their own original work within the project’s 8-week span. This specialized instruction focuses on the fundamentals that ultimately lead to academic achievement. All courses adhere to state and national art standards.
