ACHF Arts Access
30 Latinx youth increase their artistic skills as they create culturally specific art works informed by daily exploration of nature and environmental learning at the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge. Youth and artists gain increased understanding of their personal connection to the land and gain strategies for conserving and preserving nature. Evaluation methods such as surveys, informal observation and reflective protocols into programming as a way of gathering useful information that informs the adjustments needed over the course of the project. The evaluation tools will be designed by professional evaluator, Christa Trechiel in collaboration with the project design team.
Of the 32 youth working with four artists and a naturalist to learn about nature and create works of art unique to Latinx culture, 85% had no prior knowledge of the art forms; 55% had no experience with papier mache, 100% no experience with metals, and 75% no experience with sewing. After participating in the program 100% of youth could name the art forms; 85% had gained new skills with materials.
