ACHF Arts Education
As a result of this project, our 3rd grade students will learn that creativity takes many forms, and they too are artists. Evaluation will occur through a student questionnaire, an artist questionnaire and teacher notes related to their observation of the students experiences.
Students were engaged throughout the project. Projects were completed during the week long residency. The teacher observation was the evaluation measure for the residency. Students and staff appreciation of visual arts, photography, and book making were increased. Realizing books do not always need words to be read was the greatest affect.
