ACHF Arts Education
1. Created mobile installed in the school cafeteria. 2. Students learn about creating kinetic art. 3. Students and community coming together to install art. 4. Art and Welding students coming together to create art. We will have the finished artwork but we will also have the students complete evaluation survey. The survey will be completed after the residency and will be collected by art and Ag teachers.
Created the art mobile and collected the paper evaluation forms to get feedback from the students. Majority of the students felt the residency went well and that they learned about art mobiles and making kinetic art. Students want to do more metal sculpture. Students want to do more large-scale kinetic art.
