ACHF Arts Access
Staff Laptop - increase productivity of staff. iPads - tools to provide high quality arts programming for youth and increase our educational offerings. Staff productivity is reviewed in annual reviews. Surveys from class participants and caregivers will allow us to evaluate success of the arts education programs using the iPads and allow us to gauge interest for future course work both for children and adults.
We were able to fill the first animation course and offered 2 sections to maximize the number of children who could participate. The first iPad class served 16 children. In the future we hope to be able to have the staffing to offer more sections of classes for children to work with the iPad technology. Originally the organization imagined the iPads would only be used for direct projects (like the animation class). Already, the art education staff person is seeing a benefit of the equipment for students to watch informational/inspirational videos for other courses. For example - in our printmaking course, students were given a safety demo and then watched a short video on the iPad, allowing for further, more complete training on using linocut tools. The laptop for the ED has allowed software to be updated. We also have setup the previous computer to be used as a resource system for our partner groups.
