ACHF Arts Education
As a result of this project, children and adults will be introduced to activities and education in the performing, literary and visual arts. Evaluation will occur through interviews, observation and participation following each artistic activity.
Sixty-seven seventh graders wrote with Spoken Word Artist, Desdamona to learn about and create spoken word writings. They shared their writings at school with fellow students and at home with parents. All students indicated they had learned more about spoken word and would like to have more artists visit their classrooms.
