ACHF Arts Education
Learners develop holistically as arts connect STEM curriculum to real world experiences, developing 21st century skills in small and focused residencies. Evaluation occurs through teacher/artist observation and ongoing reflection. Each arts learner will have 60 hours contact time with artists and 30 hours of classroom contact time focused on curricular connections. 2: Model the first public art integration into STEM curriculum, document the process in depth and make the full case study available online via the Education page on Forecast’s website. Evaluation will be based upon the successful completion of this residency and a cumulative case study including planning notes, photos, videos, student projects, reflections, and summative reflections of successes/challenges.
Glacier Hills students and teachers and artists all experienced real public art making in a context of science and engineering—using their skills in these areas to solve the issue of water run-off at the school site. 2: A successful residency was completed with four classrooms at Glacier Hills Elementary and a case study and video documentary were created and shared online.
