Arts Learning
ACHF Arts Education
Lyndale students will demonstrate increased confidence in their artistic abilities. Project events will draw participation of a diverse slice of Lyndale School families and neighbors. We will know we accomplished our goal if students are able to teach and demonstrate a high quality art creation process. Project organizers will keep attendance at events, tracking both numbers and diversity.
The project created a 2,300 square foot mural for the Lyndale Community School; over 500 students and 400+ community members helped design and fabricate. Numbers were kept at community design and paint party events. Students were verbally surveyed: Pre: asked what a mural was, asked if they had ever worked on a mural before, and asked if they had seen murals in their community. Post: the same questions with huge positive response: Yes to understanding what a mural is, yes to greater awareness of murals and public art in their neighborhood/city/community, and yes to having painted a mural! 2: Lyndale students learned mural techniques and participated in the design and fabrication of a professional grade mural for their school. Numbers and over all demographic participation were kept for each event. Students were asked to help teach and guide mural painting at community paint parties. As they stepped up as teachers of their new mural skills, they showed not only their increased art ability but also pride/authority in that knowledge. This demonstrated their increased confidence in their artistic abilities.
