ACHF Arts Education
More than 100 4th- and 5th-graders in Minnesota will develop skills and expand knowledge about fiber art through hands-on making experiences. We will track attendance at Guild sessions. Monthly, youth will rate the fiber art skills and knowledge they gained, as well as the overall art making experience, using a standard Likert scale. 2: By acquiring fiber art making skills, students will be introduced to new ways to pursue and share life-long creativity and self-expression. Surveys and teacher observation will measure students’ use of fiber art skills outside Guild sessions, particularly through show and tell of work created and shared on their own time.
