RESIDENCY GOALS
Students learn that:

Art creates conceptual connections through experiential approach. Students will create their own interpretations of an object and create new stories.

Creative learning through the arts is key to human thought processes. Students will learn to think and make conceptual associations through approachable, concrete materials.

WORK WITH STUDENTS

Dioramas: (K-8) Creating dioramas help students tell a story through spatial connections. Dioramas can encompass various environments from the desert, forest, oceanic, and/or outer space to social, science, and/or historical periods, even direct environments that children enjoy such as the school garden or one’s one backyard. Students will create a narrative, then draw, and design from their environment that will house their elements.

Volley: (3-8) How do you see things around you? Let’s observe, research, and conceptualize through collaborative volley techniques in drawing and painting! Composition, focal point, proportion, perspective, framing, lighting, patterns, and teamwork will be covered during this creative process.

Mobiles: (K-8) How do you explore shapes and themes in space? Mobile making will be explored through 2D and 3D techniques using varying materials to create ever-changing sculptural compositions that can suspend in the air. We will learn the STEAM principles of balance and movement through colors, shapes, and perspective. Thematics can vary with materials from recycled found objects to clay creations.

The above are examples of programs; custom programs can be discussed.
