ACHF Arts Access
As a result of this program, 100% of 5th grade students will learn and apply art principles in creating works of their own. Evaluation will occur with a questionnaire for students and staff that will include general questions as well as comments. Project planners will also discuss the successes and needs of the residency.
Observations from staff, the artist, and exhibit observers all agree the project was well received by students. They were genuinely excited to learn the techniques being taught and excited to have it on display for the whole school, and parents to see. Perhaps adult lives were also changed in smaller ways - parents seeing their kids' artwork on display and hearing their children talk about the experience could have opened up their minds to the value art has in our lives.
