Students will gain skills and confidence in art production and use of new materials, by participating in workshops that showcase local and world art. Students will review with the artist, previous materials and processes at each workshop. A post workshop series evaluation form will be filled out by students and teachers which will include questions about materials and processes. 2: Students will gain an understanding of art and traditions of many cultures while completing artworks based on local and world art. The artist will question students to review their knowledge of discussed culture and art styles. Students will be given a survey form, pre and post workshops, with questions regarding cultures and countries discussed during the workshop series.
Students became much more confident with materials and processes as workshops progressed. Artist quizzed students before each workshop regarding past materials and processes. Artist observed student ability to use materials correctly. Survey of teachers indicated an increase in student skills. 2: Students gained an understanding of other countries' folk arts and basic geographical facts. The students were verbally surveyed prior to each workshop and then again at each successive workshop. Approx 75% of students were able to locate the countries presented on a map months after the workshop and discuss the art form presented.
