As a result of this project, students in grades 7 - 12 will have the opportunity to learn about and create sculpture and jewelry from visual artist, Sara Hanson, and elementary students will create visual art with teaching artist, Elwyn Ruud. Evaluation will occur through questionnaire with staff and students. They will indicate if they learned more about the art form and if they enjoyed the residency. They will also be asked for comments about the residency. The staff, project director and artist will also discuss the success and needs of the residency.
High School students were asked in an oral evaluation about their thoughts on the residency. The project director was an observer during the week in the high school classes. 90 percent of students polled indicated it was a positive experience and they learned a lot about a new art form. Elementary students were excited to have the artist/teacher visit their classrooms and were enthusiastic about creating new art. They were extremely proud of the art gallery created in their school hallway.
