ACHF Arts Access ACHF Arts Education ACHF Cultural Heritage
As a result of this program youth audience members will have access to quality art education experiences expanding their knowledge of art through the exploration of various mediums, concepts and techniques. They will develop new skills and gain a greater understanding of the art through structured classes. The WAC will attract a broader constituency, including youth and families, increasing community participation and a greater understanding and appreciation of the art for a healthy community. We will measure outcomes and document progress over the two-year program with a variety of tools. Participation of youth and families will be measured with attendance in classes, at art events and exhibits. Student development will be assessed by the work completed in classes, workshops and art activities as outlined in the learning objectives for each area. Quality of experience, class content, and future program development will be collected from students and their families through surveys.
As a result of the second year of CAS grant funding, both children and adults experienced art through the exploration of various mediums, concepts and techniques, often in relation to exhibits or art events taking place at the WAC. Participants connected with different cultures, traditional, contemporary artists and art forms and gained greater understanding and appreciation through hands-on experiences and by connecting directly with artists and instructors.
