ACHF Arts Education
Clay classes will be offered at three senior communities. Currently there are no clay arts learning activities offered onsite. Working with the activities directors, I will plan, schedule, and teach clay classes onsite. Learner surveys prior to classes will establish that this arts learning is new. Results will be noted in a class log. 2: I will eliminate any barriers by bringing the entire arts learning experience and all necessary supplies for clay artmaking onsite. Learners will be surveyed for their feedback about ease of participation and accessibility. Their responses will be noted in a class log at the beginning of the project, at each class, and at project completion.
Feigenbaum taught clay classes at three southwestern metro senior communities in which no clay arts learning was previously offered. 2: Feigenbaum eliminated barriers to arts learners' participation by bringing the clay arts learning experience directly to their senior living communities.
