Arts Learning

Three artists from KDT provided 55 hours of arts to students of four schools and two senior communities. We taught cultural dance and folk arts of India. We conducted several surveys to understand participants past and present cultural dance learning experiences. Their responses were compiled to see if our project increased the quantity and types of dance learning opportunities. We created a rubric that articulated the expectations teaching artists had for participants. The artists used the rubric as a tool that clarified the standards for a quality performance, and that guided ongoing feedback about progress toward those standards. 2: 266 multigenerational Minnesota participants directly received arts learning opportunity and 300 more experienced the art in performance space. We conducted surveys and tabulated the results; filled out our standard statistic sheet noting how many participants are there in each day of workshops and created a rubric that articulated the expectations of teaching artists. We gathered information on the types of audiences we were serving as well as exactly what sort of service we were providing the community. The surveys were often handled by facilities program coordinators that made the data more reliable instead of our estimation.
