Arts Learning
ACHF Arts Education
A minimum of ten students and four teacher/artists will be involved in the project. At least 40% of the audience members will be introduced to new locations in Frogtown. We will keep artist and participant counts/rosters. We will include an audience survey which will document people's experiences.
The students who ended up enrolled in the program were much younger than we anticipated- ages 9-15. After extensive marketing to local high schoolers, we realized that recruiting that demographic requires much more relationship building, and perhaps different meeting times (or even a stipend), as those students often work jobs after school. Students who were involved came from pre-existing youth programs, who we then partnered with. This model enabled us to have a much more consistent and enthusiastic group of students. However, the project was a very inclusive one, featuring a diverse blend of participants from a number of backgrounds. This was directly in line with our grant proposal. The audience was also easily the most diverse one that Dangerous Productions has ever had. Eleven students learned the skills and artistry involved in making a professional-caliber video, while learning about themselves in the process. Their work is now a permanent installation in five St Paul public locations.
