As a result of this program, Challenger 5th graders will be better able to understand and use specific techniques to create a realistic painting using acrylic paints Evaluation will occur through participant and artist questionnaires, as well as teacher questionnaire based on their observations before and after the program
Students learned many new acrylic techniques including, splattering, blending, chalking, dry brushing, brush strokes. In addition, they were taught concepts such as point of interest and contrast. Per our artist questionnaire, students thoroughly enjoyed the program, even the distance learners at home benefited from the residency.
