ACHF Arts Education
Students acquire demonstrable skills in multiple creative processes, creating poetry and art and then binding their work into a finished book. Our teachers write narrative assessments of the transformative effects of the process, and students will complete both narrative assessments and more quantitative-style surveys of their experience.
Skills in bookmaking, paper making and paper marbling, collage, reading, writing and performing poetry were taught in developmentally appropriate ways. Surveys were created for K-1 students and 2-5 students. All were surveyed about the Residency and results were compiled and analyzed. Teachers wrote narrative reports in May 2018 and included notes on children's engagement in the Arts Residency.
