Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Through our Book Arts Residency, at least 500 Ridgeway Community Students and community members will have exposure to creation and viewing books an art form. This opportunity is not typically available in our rural community. We will collect data on the number of children and community members involved. Ridgeway Community School families and community members will be asked to complete a short evaluation survey following the Saturday workshop and the capstone event.
Measurable Outcome(s)
Ridgeway Community School students made pop-up books, accordion books, and single-section sewn books. Each book project invited students to practice fine motor skills like cutting, folding, and sewing while making the 3-D book structure.
