Arts Learning

At the conclusion of the program, artists will: Be able to select from and utilize a range of weaving methods to advance their individual artistic goals. Be knowledgeable of weaving terminology, tools, and methods in order to continue learning through self-directed study. Be able to identify a woven item and the techniques used to create it. Be familiar with WGM resources that support further learning, including open studio and equipment use policies, the reference library, interest groups, classes, artist talks, and tours. To ensure program goals are met, teaching artists and class assistants will circulate during work time, calling attention to individual strengths and offering guidance as needed. Instructor will verbally ask students as a group and individually how their learning is progressing, whether and where they are getting stuck or confused, and what is most engaging. Extra time has been added to class time to allow for questions and check-ins. In addition to this, WGM Education Manager will attend one session per class to evaluate student learning and content delivery. At the end of each module, students will participate in check ins with teaching artists and WGM and Interact staff. Topics of discussion will include what worked well within that module, what students would change or eliminate, and what they would like to learn more about. Feedback from these sessions will be incorporated into upcoming modules. A final check-in will occur at the conclusion of the program.
