The number of Minnesotans who are able to participate in the arts increases through involving 70 6th grade students in a collaborative experience with a professional artist learning about art design and execution with a mural project. Evaluation will occur through a participant questionnaire, notes related to personal observation, and participant and audience count.
We did involve the whole 6th grade in the project as planned. Through personal observation, it was very evident that everyone was extremely happy with the mural. Incorporating northern Minnesota pieces resonated with community members and students. A few students were extensively involved as art is their passion. It was great seeing this side of these students working in collaboration with the artist.
