ACHF Arts Education
The Conference for Young Artists provides a highly interactive learning experience that benefits ALL students in the region. On average, over 20 school districts bring students to this conference, and many students attend with parents or home-school groups. Students will learn and practice new art techniques and have an increased awareness of art forms. We also hope that by attending the conference, students will see what our region has to offer ? that there are opportunities to learn, work and play, earn a good living, and live an excellent quality of life. Adults will have an increased awareness of art forms and a knowledge of artists who can provide art education in their district. Many artists have been invited to schools to extend the experience to other students. Students and adult chaperones will be surveyed after the conference to confirm whether the skills/techniques they learned/practiced were newly developed because of the sessions they attended. We will also conduct short interviews with a sample of students and adults throughout the conference to better understand how their awareness of art forms has increased because of attending the conference. Results will indicate that 90% of those responding had at least one new art experience and an increased awareness of art forms because of attending the conference.
All students who completed the feedback form said they explored and learned something new. More specifically 73% said ?yes, for sure? and 27% said ?kind of?. There were no responses for ?not so much?. 88% of these students said they would attend the Confe
